Workshop Overview

At this year’s workshop, we will explore what it means to become an ethical regional researcher. Participants will reflect on the ethics of both content and methodology, while collectively reexamining the fundamental question: Why Southeast Asian studies?

The workshop will begin with a keynote lecture by Dr. Myung Park, Professor Emeritus at Kangwon National University, titled “Foundational Issues in Southeast Asian Studies”. This will be followed by sessions aimed at fostering intergenerational dialogue and scholarly reflection.
