Generously funded by the Henry Luce Foundation through 2022, APSA’s Asia Pacific Workshops were an annual fellowship opportunity for PhD students and early-career political science faculty from East and Southeast Asia. Working with regional host universities and other partners, we offered a series of intensive summer workshops which brought together approximately 25 scholars for training in research and writing skills and to foster regional and international collaboration. Each workshop was dedicated to a substantive issue in political science, with a unique program of lectures, research presentations, guest speakers, peer review sessions, professional development seminars, and local field trips. Over the course of the program, fellows presented and refined manuscripts for publication and build professional connections with other scholars.
The program was open to PhD candidates, post-docs, and early career faculty working in political science and other social science disciplines, with special focus on scholars from universities and research institutions across East and Southeast Asia, defined as Brunei, Cambodia, China, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
