開催案内（会員・一般）：CICE Listening Series
Dear JASID Members,
We are back with the CICE Listening Series – Season 2, Episode 6!
Dr Aizuddin Anuar will talk about his book “Postcolonial Education and Development in Peripheral Malaysia: Building Scientific Aspirations.”
＜Summary of the book＞
This book offers a compelling examination of Malaysia’s ambitious ‘60:40 policy’ which prioritises science education as a pathway to national development. Drawing on personal narratives and rural experiences, including the author’s own family stories, this ethnographically rich study reveals how young Malaysians navigate aspirations for development through STEM education with profound ambivalence rather than wholesale acceptance. Aizuddin demonstrates how these experiences constitute critiques of development orthodoxy, challenging dominant narratives about science education’s transformative power.
