Faculty Associates in Research

Membership in the FAR program includes the following:

  • Notification of SEAP's upcoming lectures, conferences, symposia, and artistic exhibitions
  • Inclusion in the SEAP program directory and website
  • A complimentary copy of the SEAP bulletin

If you are interested in joining the Southeast Asia FAR program at Cornell, please email us to express your interest, attaching your CV.

Please note that this is a regional network, and membership is extended to those currently residing in the northeastern United States. If you are outside of the region, please visit our outreach page to find out how you can engage with SEAP.
