Given the diversity of Southeast Asia and the entrenched traditions of country-specific research, how should we develop more explicitly regional approaches and methodologies?
This ANU Southeast Asia Institute (SEAI) Student Research Symposium from 26 -27 November will consist of a mix of student presentations and interactive panels with Southeast Asian experts.

Building on the success of the first ANU Southeast Asia Institute Limited Series, Southeast Asianists, this second series will guide you through these seven stages, offering a comprehensive approach to studying Southeast Asia.
Southeast Asia from the Ground Up – Researching the Region explores the experiences of eight emerging and established scholars as they design, conduct, and write their research on Southeast Asia. The "ground-up" approach focuses on empirical insights gained from fieldwork, ethnographic research, archival materials, and large-scale surveys conducted with Southeast Asian citizens.
Through its seven episodes, the series traces the processual journey of Southeast Asian scholars—from meta-thinking about research and deconstructing research puzzles to exploring the nature of data, conducting fieldwork, elite interviews, and engaging in scholarly reflection. Each episode features exchanges between your host, Emir Syailendra, who shares his own experiences and reflections, and the field-based insights of these scholars.
On 1 May, 2023, the ANU Southeast Asia Institute convened the 2023 landmark Regional Geopolitical Update. The update adopted the original and timely theme of Crossroads, Lifelines, and Guardrails. We tackled Southeast Asia’s geographical, historical, and socio-political condition as a crossroads for trans-regional flows of people, goods, beliefs and practices.
Click the button below to visit the one-stop information page regarding the Update program and speakers. The page features corresponding published outputs, including video recordings and essays. This is your opportunity to learn from distinguished policymakers (such as Singapore Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan), scholars (such as Prof Evelyn Goh, Prof Khong Yuen Foong, and Prof Kuik Cheng-Chwee) and experts (such as Dr Rizal Sukma of CSIS Jakarta and Dr VŨ LÊ Thái Hoàng of DVA) on Southeast Asia’s current sense of standing at the crossroads of game-changing geopolitical transitions.
The ANU Southeast Asia Institute offers the Limited Video Series, comprised of interviews with leading scholars and key decision-makers around the region. The aim is to educate and contribute to core debates about the changing Southeast Asian region.
