Call for Visiting Researchers 

INSTITUTE FOR SOUTHEAST ASIAN STUDIES / PUSAN UNIVERSITY OF FOREIGN STUDIES 

The Institute for Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS), Pusan University of  
Foreign Studies, Busan, Republic of Korea, was established in 1996 to  
aim at developing the methodology of area studies and concentrating on  
Southeast Asian Studies. The institute has been involved in various  
research projects on Southeast Asia and produced outstanding results  
including the publication series introducing area studies. Funded by  
the research project of Humanities Korea from National Research  
Foundation of Korea in 2009, the institute is commencing the research  
of Southeast Asia defined as a holistic unit, an advanced education  
program for the students of Southeast Asian Studies, and other  
supporting activities with more than 20 full-time faculties and staffs. 

The theme of HK project, the Recognition and Construction of Southeast  
Asia as a Holon: Building Southeast Asian Studies on Compounding Area  
Studies and Cultural Studies, focuses on building Southeast Asian  
Studies regarding Southeast Asia as a unit of identity reflecting a

the existing academic consideration, will be examined and supported  
mainly by cultural studies on the whole area of Southeast Asia under
