Message From The Chair

ARI has made significant strides in advancing knowledge about Asian societies since 2001. Through international collaborations and world-class research, we have established ourselves as a renown hub for addressing the latest intellectual questions and most pressing issues concerned with the region.

ARI’s contribution to knowledge about Asia becomes even more urgent and relevant in our increasingly polarized yet interconnected world. Facilitating dialogue, building networks and promoting interdisciplinary inquiries are ever more essential to promoting mutual understanding and nurturing scholarship that could lead to innovative ideas and solutions.

I invite you to visit ARI, learn about our research clusters, meet our dynamic community of scholars, and participate in our activities. I look forward to welcoming you soon.
