Join us for a live-streamed seminar to celebrate the 15th anniversary of New Mandala, the University’s premier digital platform for anecdote, analysis and new perspectives on Southeast Asia. Since 2006 New Mandala has developed a proud record of contribution to scholarly and popular debates and played a pioneering role in the digitisation of Southeast Asian studies.

To mark this milestone, New Mandala will host a live-streamed seminar on the state of play for independent and scholarly media on Southeast Asian studies in this tumultuous second decade of the millennium.
