Research Events

Academic Workshops  

LSE SEAC organises academic workshops that are centred on particular themes relevant to Southeast Asia. These workshops promise high-quality, innovative research and aim to produce an academic publication on the topic. The participation of local and international academics and researchers is by invitation only.

Cove Sessions 

The SEAC Cove Sessions are designed as a series of informal and high-level briefings involving policy-makers, officials, researchers and other stakeholders that are held under the Chatham House Rule or off-the-record.

The purpose of these sessions is to engender substantive discussion around important issues relating to Southeast Asia, to freely exchange analysis and insights, and to develop new ideas.The format for these sessions is simple: upon being introduced, speakers will make brief remarks and are then engaged in a dialogue with an expert audience.

Events for Students and LSE Staff

LSE SEAC runs interdisciplinary research workshops and seminars for students from LSE and elsewhere working on Southeast Asia, as well as for LSE academics. These events provide participants with a safe environment in which to discuss their ongoing research, and receive cross-disciplinary feedback from peers and LSE faculty specialising in Southeast Asia.
