One piece of feedback gathered from the ASEAS(UK) 2022 conference was that finding SEA focused departments and scholars can be a challenging exercise for prospective graduate students as well as those looking for PostDocs and research collaboration opportunities. So with this in mind ASEAS (UK) has put together this directory to help anyone with these initial steps.
Whilst future steps might include specifying countries covered, the current format only really does this if the name might be otherwise confusing. Additionally the decision was made to exclude institutions that only focus on undergraduate teaching.
If you would like to be included or removed from the directory please contact us via the website.
