Established in 2013, the Southeast Asia Research Group (SEAREG) highlights the best new research by young social scientists working on Southeast Asian politics and fosters a network of scholars in political science and allied disciplines who are working at the forefront of Southeast Asian studies.
Research Driven
We promote research on Southeast Asia that is theoretically informed, analytically sophisticated, and methodologically precise; which is rooted in in one or more Southeast Asian countries; and which contributes to basic debates in contemporary political science and allied disciplines.
A Community of Scholars
SEAREG events offer several opportunities for networking with members of the academic community across social science disciplines as well as giving and receiving feedback on emerging research and exchanging ideas to advance scholarly knowledge of the region.
