Society for South-East Asian Studies - SEAS

The Society for South-East Asian Studies (SEAS) is a non-profit organization which aims to strengthen and deepen the interdisciplinary and intercultural research and education on Southeast Asia in Austria and Europe. In order to do so, SEAS organizes regular lectures on a variety of Southeast Asia related issues as well as an annual international conference on Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Vienna. Furthermore, SEAS publishes a biannual scientific journal and provides a virtual and face-to-face platform for students and scholars interested in the region. The chair of East Asian Society and Economy is cooperative partner of SEAS.

Advances in Southeast Asian Studies

Advances in Southeast Asian Studies (ASEAS, formerly known as the Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies) is an international, interdisciplinary and open access social sciences journal covering a variety of issues in the fields of cultural and social anthropology, communication, development, geography, cultural studies, regional studies, politics, and tourism, from both historical and contemporary perspectives. Topics should be related to Southeast Asia, but are not restricted to the geographical region, when spatial and political borders of Southeast Asia are crossed or transcended, e.g., in the case of linguistics, diaspora groups or forms of socio-cultural transfer. ASEAS publishes two focus issues per year and we welcome out-of-focus submissions at any time. The journal invites both established as well as young scholars to present research results and theoretical and methodical discussions, to report about on-going research projects or field studies, to publish conference reports, to conduct interviews with experts in the field, and to review relevant books. Articles can be submitted in English.
