Description
The Lee Kong Chian Fellowship is the flagship component of the Lee Kong Chian NUS-Stanford Initiative on Southeast Asia, established in 2007 to enhance the visibility, scope, and quality of scholarship on contemporary Southeast Asia. Research is supported by the National University of Singapore’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Southeast Asia Program at Stanford’s Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center.
Awarded annually, the fellowship gives scholars and professionals time to develop research and writing projects focused on or related to contemporary Southeast Asia. Fellows participate in the host university’s intellectual community through presentations, seminars, workshops, and other academic activities. Stanford-appointed fellows reside at Stanford, while NUS-appointed fellows reside at NUS, with separate application processes and appointment terms.
