The UCLA Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) was established in 1999 with a mission to take a leading role in defining the place of Southeast Asian Studies in the U.S. for the 21st century. In 2000 the CSEAS joined with the Center for Southeast Asia Studies at UC Berkeley to form a consortium. The same year the UCLA-UCB consortium was designated a US Department of Education National Resource Center for Southeast Asian Studies, one of only a small number in the country.
UCLA's CSEAS promotes independent research and innovative teaching about the histories, languages, societies, and cultures of Southeast Asia and its peoples. To this end, it supports expanded course offerings, hosts visiting scholars and researchers, presents public lectures and cultural programs, organizes conferences and symposia, contributes to the development of library holdings and services, supports undergraduate and graduate study, conducts outreach and teacher-training programs, and builds partnerships with organizations in the local Southeast Asian community and beyond.
