Berkeley Southeast Asianists

The Berkeley Southeast Asianists constitutes a group of University of California graduate students conducting academic research in or coming from Southeast Asia, or both. Our primary goal consists of strengthening the tradition of Southeast Asian studies on campus through the promotion of scholarly research on and education about Southeast Asia, both on campus and within the broader Bay Area community. In particular, we hope to provide our members and the greater Berkeley community with exposure to both scholars and current debates in the field, as well as with opportunities for gaining related professional experience. Activities include a reading group, a guest lecture series, occasional workshops and conferences, and co-sponsorship of a variety of events. Members come from the humanities, social sciences, and professional schools at UC Berkeley and other UC campuses, from departments including South & Southeast Asian Studies, History, Environmental Policy, Anthropology, Political Science, Education, Theology, City & Regional Planning, and Public Policy.
