2nd SOUTHEAST ASIA UPDATE
CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
EUROSEAS-NL, ASIA, KITLV, VU (SEAVU)
JUNE 18, 2010
VU UNIVERSITY AMSTERDAM

--

Be part of the second Southeast Asia update in the Netherlands, extend your horizon and get briefed on current research on Southeast Asia.

The Southeast Asia Update is the occasion to:

 - obtain the latest news on recent research and ongoing debates related to

Southeast Asia;

- present recent findings, your research project or newly published books and

special issues;

- listen to other researchers who present current research projects, new

findings and hot debates;

- meet ³old² friends and find ³new² ones; and

- expand your network of Southeast Asian scholars in the Netherlands (and beyond).

There are quite a number of scholars in the Netherlands, both established academics as well as young researchers, who have the Southeast Asian region as their field of inquiry. This yields an interesting mix of Southeast Asian expertise.

--

Although this expertise, in varying degrees, is often shared among those who work on the same country, cross-disciplinary and cross-country comparisons hardly ever take place. The main purpose of the Southeast Asia Update is therefore to bring together, at least once a year, researchers on Southeast Asia in an attempt to look at the region from a comparative perspective.

We are now putting together the 2010 program. It will encompass short presentations of new and ongoing research, informative book launchings, poster presentations and plenty of time for discussion and get-togethers.

--

Do you have something ³new² to tell on Southeast Asia, either mainland and/or peninsular? Then you are more than welcome to present your work at the 2nd Southeast Asian Update in the Netherlands!

--

We explicitly ask young researchers and Ph.D. candidates to take part in the second Southeast Asia Update. Anyone with an interest in presenting recent  fieldwork results, awarded research projects, upcoming fieldwork, or a recently published book or special issue is asked to contact both Juliette Koning and Gerben Nooteboom by email (jbm.koning@fsw.vu.nl and g.nooteboom@uva.nl ).

--

The 2nd Southeast Asia Update will take place at VU University Amsterdam.
