The 28th Cornell SEAP Graduate Student Conference

The Southeast Asia Program’s annual graduate conference offers a space for scholars of Southeast Asia to share new work, receive feedback, and engage with peers and faculty across disciplines.

This year’s special-format conference will feature a mix of panel presentations and individual talks from current SEAP graduate students, creating room for discussion and reflection on emerging scholarship in Southeast Asian studies.

Faculty organizers encourage speakers to explore intersections across their projects as they prepare their presentations. Abstracts and titles from presenters are due January 21, 2026.
