Graduate Education and Training in Southeast Asia (GETSEA) Mentoring
GETSEA is accepting applications from early-stage PhD students for four two-year mentoring clusters in Southeast Asian studies.
Each cluster will bring together four to five graduate students for regular virtual meetings, collaborative discussion, research development, and at least one in-person gathering. Selected students will receive a $1,000 award to support travel to the gathering. Applicants must be enrolled in a PhD program and be pre-exam and pre-field research. The opportunity is open to all students of Southeast Asian studies, with priority given to students at U.S. institutions.
