Warm greetings from National University of Singapore (NUS)!
Founded in 1905 by Tan Jiak Kin, NUS was started out as a modest medical school with 23 students to serve the needs of the local community. As one of the best university nationwide, National University of Singapore aspires to be a vital community of academics, researchers, staff, students and alumni working together in a spirit of innovation and enterprise for a better world.
We are pleased to inform you that the 17th Singapore Graduate Forum on Southeast Asian Studies from NUS is now open for Universitas Gadjah Mada students.
This event is a five-day forum, the seventeenth of an annual series of forums for PhD graduate students and scholars who have graduated with a PhD degree within the past two years, and whose research focuses on Southeast Asia, will be organized thematically online. Themes broadly reflect (though not limited to) the core research strengths of the Asia Research Institute, including the Asian dynamics of religion, politics, economy, gender, culture, language, migration, urbanism, science and technology, identities, population and social change.
The first two days of the forum will be dedicated to Skills Based Sessions during which senior scholars will address various topics such as:
- How to get published in peer-reviewed journals
- How to apply for international grants
- How to flourish as an early career academic
During the final three days, students will be given the opportunity to present their work in sessions organized thematically. Eligible students working on topics related to Southeast Asia are invited to submit abstracts based on research at an advanced stage (i.e. already completed data collection and analysis). If research plans were disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students are encouraged to submit proposals based on work in progress that critically reflects upon pandemic research modalities through methodological innovation. NUS students are also encouraged to take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to interact and exchange ideas with students from other regions whose interests focus on Southeast Asia.
