The Asia Research Institute (ARI) is a global hub for historical and contemporary research on Asia. Based at the National University of Singapore, the institute facilitates cutting-edge scholarship in the social sciences and humanities as well as interdisciplinary research collaborations.
Yoga Prasetyo is currently working with Prof Brenda Yeoh on the third wave of CHAMPSEA, ARI’s longest-running study on the impacts of long-term parental migration across Southeast Asia—research that resonates personally with his own experience growing up in Tulungagung as a “left-behind” child.
