SEAREG Fellows are advanced PhD students or newly minted PhDs in the social sciences who display unusual promise as scholars of Southeast Asia. They are nominated by faculty and selected semi-annually via a competitive process. The process begins by soliciting nominations for fellows (by faculty, students, or self-nominations). All nominees submit their strongest unpublished paper, which is anonymized and read blindly by a committee of three faculty members. Each committee member independently ranks the papers, after which the committee meets to adjudicate their rankings and select the strongest papers.
Past Fellows now hold academic and professional positions around the world.
Five of our 2023 Fellows will present their papers at our summer conference in Singapore:
Isabel Chew
PhD candidate, University of British Columbia

After submitting the form, be sure to upload copies of the nominee’s CV and an unpublished paper (or dissertation chapter) on Southeast Asia that the nominee would present at the SEAREG conference. First-round nominees may choose to submit an updated (or alternate) paper for consideration. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Renate Kwon.
