Geographies of AsiaThe Department of Geography at McGill University has a considerable number of faculty working on research topics based in Asia. From India, China and Vietnam to Singapore, Malaysia and East Timor, we span urban and rural locales, authoritarian to democratic regimes, mountainous to lowland flood plains. We explore how people make a livelihood on an everyday basis and strive for food security, how households cope with extreme weather events and access ecosystem services, and how regime changes impact land tenure, property rights regimes and human rights.
