SEATriP (Southeast Asia: Texts, Rituals, Performance) brings together faculty and students who share an ongoing interest in the arts and humanities and are actively engaged with the languages and expressive cultures of Southeast Asia. The scholars associated with the Program address regionally-specific texts, rituals and performances across time and space. They seek to develop better understandings of the forms and practices through which ideas and ideologies are creatively expressed, shaped, and communicated within and among different societies of Southeast Asia (in particular Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines) as well as the Southeast Asian diaspora. Their research interests range from traditional disciplinary themes to more transgressive, controversial matters that are reflected in the range of historical and contemporary subjects they bring to their courses and seminars developed for the degree programs in Southeast Asian Studies at the University of California, Riverside.
ASP (Asian Studies Program) affords students the opportunity to study various regions of Asia from an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on courses and faculty from various departments in the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. The program is built around training in the East, Southeast, and South Asian languages, but courses cover many aspects of Asian history, literature, and cultures. Other courses cover the cultures and experiences of Asian Americans and the Asian diaspora communities.
