On May 16, 2024, Stanford University's Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC) marked a quarter-century of our Southeast Asia Program by convening the conference “Reconsidering Southeast Asia: Issues and Prospects,” where esteemed scholars from Stanford, the United States, and Southeast Asia joined us to examine current issues affecting the region. Panel topics included geopolitical competition, environmental sustainability, and gender inequality. The economic and sociopolitical futures of the region were also debated, and alumni of the Southeast Asia Program shared their scholarly experiences and findings.
