Modern Southeast Asia: Colonial Legacies, Lasting Diversities is a two-week residential institute for college and university teachers that will be hosted on the East-West Center campus in Honolulu by the Asian Studies Development Program (ASDP). The institute will examine Southeast Asia in its broad geographical and historical context as a distinctive cultural crossroads that was subject to competing colonial interests from the 17th to the early 20th century and that remains one of the most linguistically, ethnically and religiously diverse regions of the world.
