Given the interdisciplinary nature of area-based research like Southeast Asian studies, scholars often need to carefully consider how to position their work for publication. Different publishing venues present varying opportunities and challenges, and authors must navigate editorial and press expectations amid disciplinary divides as well as those between disciplines and area studies.

Organized by the GETSEA Graduate Student Council, this panel brings together journal editors, book and article authors, and an acquisitions editor from an academic press to share their experiences with Southeast Asian research across publication venues.

Invited speakers:

Nathan Badenoch – Associate Editor, Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS Kyoto); Executive Committee Member, Asian Ethnicity; Department of Global Interdisciplinary Studies, Villanova University

Sarah Grossman – Editorial Director, Southeast Asia Program (SEAP) Publications; Senior Editor, Cornell University Press

Benjamin Tausig – Co-Editor, Journal of Popular Music Studies; Author, Bangkok After Dark (Duke University Press, 2025); Department of Music, SUNY Stony Brook University

Nhu Truong – Co-Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Vietnamese Studies; Departments of Asian Languages and Cultures & Political Science, University of Wisconsin–Madison
