Our Vision

Created in 2015, NYSEAN’s vision is to support dynamic and informed public and policy discussions about Southeast Asia and U.S.-Southeast Asian relations, with a special focus on the greater New York and tri-state region.

Our Mission

To promote research on, discussion about, and awareness of Southeast Asia and U.S.-Southeast Asian relations through collaboration among academics, artists, policymakers, and other professionals working in the New York tri-state area and in the region.

We aim to achieve this mission though:

  • NYSEAN.org as a virtual hub for our members, organizational partners, and others who support our mission to feature events, opportunities, and resources aimed at expanding discussion on and teaching about Southeast Asia and U.S. Southeast-Asian relations.

  • Supporting conferences, small workshops, panel discussions, seminars, exhibitions, art installations and performances that address historical or contemporary issues in Southeast Asia and/or U.S.-Southeast Asia relations.

The New York Southeast Asia Network is deeply grateful to the Henry Luce Foundation for its generous support.
