Annual Workshop on Southeast Asian Women 2006
Monash University has a number of academic staff and graduate students conducting research relating to women in Southeast Asia. The first Women in Southeast Asia Workshop was organised by the Centre of Southeast Asian Studies in 1994, and since then such workshops have been held annually to promote research in the area and to facilitate exchange of ideas among scholars.
The aim of the Workshop is to bring together researchers and others interested in the study of matters relating to Southeast Asian women, in any field, such as politics, geography, literature, the arts, history or health.
Hosted by Centre of Southeast Asian Studies with support of Monash Asia Institute
