8th Singapore Graduate Forum on Southeast Asian Studies
*National University of Singapore *
*CALL FOR PAPERS - 8th Singapore Graduate Forum on Southeast Asian Studies*
*CALL FOR PAPERS (DEADLINE: 25 MARCH 2013) *
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, located at one of its
communication hubs. 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. To this end, it conducts the Asian Research
Scholars programme, bringing more than 35 such graduate students to
Singapore each year for a two and a half month period of research,
mentoring and participation in an academic writing workshop. Towards the
end of this period, we hold the Asian Graduate Forum.
The 8th Asian Graduate Forum is one of ARI's flagship events, a three-day
workshop for graduate students who work on Southeast Asia. Held toward the
end of the Asian Research Scholars Programme 2013, the Forum provides a
platform for postgraduate students who are at an advanced stage to present
their work, and also to communicate and interact, as they mature into the
next generation of academic leaders.
The participants include ARI's Asian scholars, as well as graduate students
from Singapore and other parts of the world. The unifying factor is that
the research is on Southeast Asia, although the sessions are organised
thematically around issues in Asian dynamics of religion, politics,
economy, gender, culture, language, migration, urbanism, science and
technology, population and social change, etc. In addition to student
presentations, three experts of the region share their insights on
challenges and issues facing contemporary social science scholarship in
Southeast Asia.
*SUBMISSION OF PAPER PROPOSAL

Graduate students should submit a 300-400 words abstract of their proposed
