Events

The 14^th Graduate Forum is one of the flagship events of the Asia Research Institute (ARI). This event provides a platform for graduate students from around the world working on Southeast Asia to communicate and interact, as they mature into the next generation of academic leaders. The sessions which allows them to present their work are organised thematically around the themes broadly reflecting the core research strengths of ARI, including the Asian dynamics of religion, politics, economy, gender, culture, language, migration, urbanism, science and technology, identities, population and social change. The five-day Forum coincides with the Asian Graduate Student Fellowship Programme 2019, which brings 30 graduate students to ARI for a six-week period of research, mentoring and participation in an academic writing workshop.

This year, there are two components to the Graduate Forum:

22-23 JULY | SKILLS BASED SESSIONS (Open to the Graduate Forum Students and Invited Participants only)

The first two days of the forum will be dedicated to skills based sessions during which senior scholars will address various topics such as how to get published in peer-reviewed journals, how to develop research proposals, and how to deal with conflicting reviews.

24-26 JULY | FORUM (Graduate Students’ Presentations)

During these three days, graduate students will present their work in sessions organized thematically. In addition, there will be 3 keynote lectures by professors Mark Hobart (University of London), Jeroen de Kloet (University of Amsterdam) and Elaine Lynn-Ee Ho (National University of Singapore).

BACKGROUND

ARI was established as a university-level institute in July 2001 as one of the strategic initiatives of the National University of Singapore (NUS). It aims to provide a world-class focus and resource for research on the Asian region. ARI engages the social sciences broadly defined, and especially interdisciplinary frontiers between and beyond disciplines. One of ARI’s aims is to foster research on Southeast Asia, in particular by scholars from the region.

REGISTRATION

Admission is free, and seats are available on a first come, first served basis. Please email to minghua.tay@nus.edu.sg to indicate your interest to attend the event.
