 e United Nations has made it a target to “provide legal identity to all\, i
 ncluding birth registration” in its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
 . Why is the registration of births and other vital events so important for
  human rights? What are the social\, political\, and even mortal consequenc
 es of living a life that on paper does not exist? In this talk\, I explore 
 these questions by spotlighting the experiences and perspectives of undocum
 ented and stateless families struggling to gain official recognition\, and 
 the basic documents to prove it\, in Malaysia.</p><h4><strong>[Bio] </stron
 g></h4><p>Amanda Cheong is an assistant professor of sociology at UBC. She 
 researches the impacts of legal status on the lives of undocumented migrant
 s\, stateless persons\, and refugees. Amanda is working on a book\, <em>Omi
 tted Lives\, </em>which investigates the causes and consequences of exclusi
 on from civil registration systems in Malaysia.</p><h3><strong>Event Regist
 ration: </strong></h3><p>Pre-registration for this event is now closed. You
  may still attend the talk but we cannot guarantee space or food for the lu
 ncheon afterwards.</p>
