3rd Southeast Asia Update

This years’ annual Southeast Asia Update will be co-hosted by the Van Vollenhoven Instituut, the Institute for Cultural Anthropology of Leiden University, and the Leiden University Institute for Area Studies (LIAS). Get a quick fix of what is the newest of the new when it comes to research on this exciting world region.

• Get an overview of on-going debates and recent research.
• Take the chance to present recent project findings or a new book.
• Listen to others, who are dealing with issues relating to Southeast Asia from new and unfamiliar perspectives.
• Meet old friends and make new ones.
• Extend your network of Southeast Asian scholars in the Netherlands.

Throughout the Netherlands, established and beginning scholars alike are involved in a broad range of research projects and disciplines dealing with Southeast Asia. Whereas those working on similar subjects or nations tend to know one another to a greater or lesser extent, a comparative approach to the region is often less well developed. At the same time the presence of numerous scholars from the region itself in Dutch academia is changing the research agenda. It is our purpose to both monitor and stimulate such developments in our annual gathering of Southeast Asia scholars.

If you would like to attend the SEA Update, please send an email to Yayah Siegers (kitlv@kitlv.nl) for registration.
