In partnership with the Henry Luce Foundation Inc, a supporter of Asian Studies for over 80 years, ARI recently co-hosted a series of roundtables as part of a nascent Southeast Asian Studies Collaboratory.

The event brought together regional-based scholars, research centres, current/former Luce grantees, practitioners, and Luce representatives with ARI researchers and other Southeast Asianists from NUS. This enabled identification and discussion of current research trends and capacity needs that could benefit from future collaborative projects involving ARI and the Luce Foundation.
