Recently, I had the opportunity to co-edit a book entitled, Southeast Asia, Infected and Interrupted: Elevating Critical Voices on the State of Human Rights and Peace in the Time of Covid-19 with two colleagues, Joel Mark Barredo from the Philippines and Dr Herlambang P. Wiratraman from Indonesia.
This book features a total of 72 articles on topics covering all Southeast Asian countries. It is first initiated by the Strengthening Human Rights and Peace Research in ASEAN/Southeast Asia Program (SHAPE-SEA), in its pursuit of increased knowledge on human rights and peace and to promote academic-activism.
This project is one of the earliest initiatives by an organisation to open its doors to anyone living in or concerned about the situation in Southeast Asia to write rapid assessments about the impacts of Covid-19 on any human rights and peace issues.
