Asia Research Institute (ARI)
National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Self-description:
"Established as a university-level institute in July 2001, the Asia Research Institute (ARI) is one of the strategic initiatives of the National University of Singapore, as it focuses its sights on being a world-leading hub for research and education on Asia. ARI engages the social sciences broadly defined, and especially interdisciplinary frontiers between and beyond disciplines. It seeks to be a space of encounters for scholars around the world working on Asia. Within NUS, it works particularly with the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences, Business, Law, Design and Environment, and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, as well as the other Asia institutes to support research, conferences, lectures and graduate study at the highest level.
Its research clusters are organised around the following themes: # The Changing Family in Asia, # Asian Migration, # Cultural Studies in Asia, # Religion and Globalisation in Asian Contexts, # Southeast Asia-China Interactions, including a Project on Southeast Asian Archaeology, # Sustainable Cities, # Open Cluster."
