SEAREG Fellows are advanced PhD students or newly minted PhDs in the social sciences who display unusual promise as scholars of Southeast Asia. They are selected semi-annually via a competitive process.
The process begins by soliciting nominations for fellows (by faculty, students or self-nominations). All nominees submit their strongest unpublished paper, which is anonymized and read blindly by a committee of three faculty members. Each committee member independently ranks the papers, after which the committee meets to adjudicate their rankings and select the strongest papers.
"As a SEAREG Fellow, I had the opportunity to present my working paper and receive valuable feedback from a group of experts, who not only specialize in the theoretical focus and methodology of my paper but, more importantly, possess deep expertise in Southeast Asia. This rare and invaluable combination creates a unique synergy that is difficult to find elsewhere, allowing me to significantly improve my paper. Additionally, as a SEAREG Fellow, I get to become part of a supportive community that includes leading scholars and practitioners with shared interests in Southeast Asia. This network not only fosters intellectual exchange but also opens doors to new research opportunities. This dual benefit makes the SEAREG fellowship an invaluable experience for scholars seeking to expand their research impact, build a professional network, and contribute meaningfully to the study of Southeast Asia."
