Events

This forum is organized by the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore, with support from the Henry Luce Foundation.

The 21st Singapore Graduate Forum on Southeast Asian Studies is one of the flagship events of the Asia Research Institute (ARI). This two-week event provides a platform for graduate students and recent PhD recipients from around the world working on Southeast Asia to communicate and interact, as they mature into the next generation of academic leaders. The Forum culminates with participants presenting their work in panels organised thematically around the fields that broadly reflect 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.

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

15-23 JUNE | ACADEMY SESSIONS
Open to the Forum Participants and Invited Guests only
These are 1.5-hour sessions which hone in on one aspect of academic labour or professional development and provide advice and practical tips.

24-26 JUNE | FORUM WITH KEYNOTE ADDRESSES & PARTICIPANTS’ PRESENTATIONS
Open for all to attend
During these three days, forum participants will present their work in thematically organised sessions. In addition, there will be keynote lectures offered by Associate Professor Sandeep Ray (University of Nottingham Malaysia) and Professor George E. Dutton (University of California – Los Angeles).

ABOUT ASIA RESEARCH INSTITUTE

The Asia Research Institute (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.
