Abstract: How can the study of Southeast Asian languages and literary traditions better integrate the countries of ASEAN? Southeast Asian countries have largely focused on their own narrowly defined literary traditions and languages—or colonial antecedents—rather than thinking more regionally. This talk will explore some of the ways that Indonesian centers of literary and linguistic research can embrace their role as regional beacons as Indonesia seeks to become an educational leader within ASEAN.

This event is co-organized by AIFIS in collaboration with Perpustakaan Universitas Negeri Malang and Universitas Brawijaya. (Sebagian kuliah akan menggunakan bahasa Indonesia).
