Call for Submissions - ASEAS 2025 Conference, University of Cambridge
“Global Southeast Asia: Continuity and Change”
St John’s College, University of Cambridge, 15–17 September 2025
The conference organising committee of the Association of Southeast Asian Studies (ASEAS) is delighted to invite interested parties to submit paper and panel abstracts for the upcoming conference, which will be held at St John’s College, University of Cambridge. This year’s conference theme, “Global Southeast Asia: Continuity and Change,” explores the dynamic and evolving nature of Southeast Asia in the context of global interconnectedness, political change, environmental challenges, cultural flows, and socio-economic transformations.
We welcome a wide range of submissions that engage with Southeast Asia from interdisciplinary perspectives for the following types of submissions:
Individual Paper Presentations: 20-minute presentations on original research.
Panels: Organised panels of 3-4 presenters, addressing a common theme.
Submission Guidelines
To submit your abstract, please visit tinyurl.com/aseas2025. An abstract must be no longer than 250 words with a concise description of your paper, panel, or project. You can email at aseasconference2025@gmail.com with any queries.
Please specify clearly alongside your submission whether the panel/presentation is planned as an in-person or online session.
ASEAS is dedicated to fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion. We prioritize panels that reflect the diversity of our field in terms of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and institutional affiliation. We also encourage panels that include a mix of participants from across the career spectrum (i.e., from postgraduate to professor). Historically women have been disproportionately underrepresented on panels and ASEAS is taking positive action, as permitted under s.158 Equality Act 2010, to enable and encourage the participation of women. For this reason all-male panel proposals are strongly discouraged.
Deadline for Submissions: 30 April 2025
The ASEAS 2025 Conference offers an invaluable opportunity to engage with the latest research, foster collaborations, and contribute to shaping the future of Southeast Asian Studies.
More details, including keynote speakers to be announced shortly!
