CALL FOR PAPERS
2ND SINGAPORE GRADUATE FORUM ON SOUTHEAST ASIA STUDIES
 
ASIA RESEARCH INSTITUTE, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE
26 - 28 JULY 2007

The Asia Research Institute (ARI) of the National University
of Singapore (NUS) invites applications from advanced
postgraduate students who are engaged in research on Southeast
Asia to attend the 2nd Singapore Graduate Forum on Southeast
Asia Studies on 26 ­ 28 July 2007.

Postgraduate students working on Southeast Asia are invited to
submit abstracts based either on work in progress that is at
an advanced stage, or on completed work. NUS students are
encouraged to take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity
to interact and exchange ideas with students from ASEAN
countries as well as those from other regions whose interests
focus on Southeast Asia.

This two-day workshop, the second of an annual series of
forums for graduate students who work on Southeast Asia, will
be organised thematically around issues that include religion,
international relations, politics, gender, and language. In
addition to student presentations, experts of the region will
also be invited to give keynote speeches, sharing their
insights on challenges and issues facing contemporary social
science scholarship. Registration fees and Singapore expenses
will be covered for those whose abstracts are accepted for
presentation. If necessary, students may also apply for some
funding to cover regional travel costs. Marking the completion
of the Asean Research Scholars’ Programme 2007, the Forum will
also facilitate communication and cooperation among the
postgraduate students as they mature into the next generation
of academic leaders.

Submission of Paper Proposal: Graduate students should submit
a 200-word abstract of their proposed paper using the
website's PROPOSAL FORM no later than 15 May 2007. Successful
applicants will be notified by 1 June 2007. The abstract
should clarify the substantive issues which your paper will
address and be firmly grounded in your own research project.
Please include your name, institutional affiliation, e-mail
address and other contact information. One confidential letter
of recommendation from a supervisor should also be forwarded
to this address by the same date. Those selected have to
submit full-length papers, of around 5,000 words in length, by
