  • SPRING 2017 NEWSLETTER Dear CSEAS Community
    CENTER FOR STUDIES SPRING 2017 NEWSLETTER Dear CSEAS Community, LETTER FROM THE It feels like every year gets busier than the last, DIRECTOR but we certainly had a lot of programming in the past two semesters. Along with our regular slate of Friday Noontime Lectures, we added roundtables, special talks, and workshops on music and dance. To enhance our campus reach, we hosted faculty and master artists from Southeast Asia and the US. Further, we gave added attention to increasing the visibility of Southeast Asian countries less represented by faculty on campus. Accordingly, Vietnamese Studies ramped up (thanks to the dedicated efforts of John Whitmore and Thuy Anh Nguyen), featuring a vibrant library gallery exhibit, a symposium of acclaimed scholars, film and poetry events, and a regular meeting of its constituents. We also put a spotlight on Myanmar in response to growing interest on campus from graduate students and faculty. On the occasion of her retirement, I have the honor of congratulating Linda Lim on her illustrious career. We feature her thoughts, all too concisely, in this newsletter (pages 6–9) and look forward to her continuing association with the university and with CSEAS. Her support of the center over the years has been invaluable. As one faculty member retires, we look forward to the arrival of a new one in fall 2017. Erick White joins the community of Asian Languages and Cultures on track for the Thai Theravada Buddhism chair. IN THIS ISSUE In this issue, you will get an overview of our campus visitors, student activities, library acquisitions, achievements by community CSEAS News 1 members, and more.

  • Center for Southeast Asian Studies Winter 2013 Letter from the Director
    Photo credit: CC-BY-NC-ND 2.0, 2010, Andrew Miller center for southeast asian studies Winter 2013 Letter from the Director Dear Friends, This has been a full, exciting year at the Center for Southeast Asian Studies. Over the course of the year we have brought more than three dozen scholars and performers to campus, while also hearing from some of our own distinguished faculty, students and alumni. The topics of these lectures and seminars have covered the gamut of discipline and geography, from aid dependence in Cambodia to populism in the Philippines. We began the year with a special conference on Thai Studies at Michigan, which featured the work of several of our faculty and students who have been supported by grants from the Amnuay- Samonsri Viravan Endowment for Thai Studies. We were pleased to be joined for this event by Dr. Amnuay and Khunying Samonsri Viravan. Later in the fall CSEAS alum Michael Dunne (Business, 1990) was a featured speaker as part of Rackham’s anniversary celebration, and spoke of his journey from Michigan to Southeast Asia. Spring brought our annual gamelan and dance concert, which featured our visiting artist in residence, Anon Suneko (next page). We were also pleased this year to host two large gatherings of scholars who focus on the Philippines. In October we welcomed to campus of a group of Philippine Studies scholars who were in Michigan attending the Philippine Studies conference at Michigan State University. At the conclusion of the conference more than 25 scholars spent a day exploring U-M’s holdings on Philippine studies in a workshop organized by U-M Southeast Asia Area Librarian Susan Go (page 10).

  • SPRING 2016 NEWSLETTER Dear CSEAS Community
    CENTER FOR STUDIES SPRING 2016 NEWSLETTER Dear CSEAS Community, LETTER FROM The end of any academic year is a special THE DIRECTOR time for many people. We look back not merely on the variety of events held by the center since the fall, but also on the laudable achievements of students, faculty, and staff. We celebrate our undergraduate, MA, and Ph.D. students who move onto a new chapter of their lives, hoping that Southeast Asia will always be important to them in some way, and we marvel at the long and illustrious careers of retiring faculty who have provided happy memories for so many. The second year of our Department of Education T6 grant kept us busy, providing funds to faculty and students for workshops and research. The noontime lecture series had another successful run and was particularly well timed for the elections in Burma/Myanmar this past fall. Our partnerships with the School of Public Health grew, even while we welcomed new faculty and doctoral students in fields with which we traditionally have enjoyed strong partnerships, such as anthropology and musicology. Finally, I am honored to say that I will renew as director of CSEAS for another three-year term. It has been a privilege to work with this dedicated community, and I look forward to more collaboration in the years ahead.

  • Winter 2006 Leaders Best PHILANTHROPY at MICHIGAN &
    10240ul_cov 1/30/06 4:29 PM Page 3 Winter 2006 Leaders Best PHILANTHROPY AT MICHIGAN & Building Michigan 10240ul_cov 1/30/06 4:29 PM Page 4 Building Excellence Dear Friends, At the 1927 groundbreaking for the venerable Michigan League, a box of memorabilia, including samples of the many items sold to raise funds for the building’s construction, was placed within the cornerstone. It was a wonderful assortment, and a fitting way to preserve the creativity and determina- tion that went into raising the funds to help build this elegant campus treasure. Dona- tions for the League streamed in from the sale of baked goods and handicrafts, $50 memberships for alumnae and students, and the extraordinary drive of pioneering fundraiser Mary Barton Henderson, a U-M graduate and the wife of physics professor William D. Henderson. The League’s grass-roots support—driven by women who answered the call for more gracious meeting, entertaining and even housing space on campus—is one of my favorite tales of philanthropy at the University of Michigan. Fortunately, the story of donor generosity for U-M facilities has many more chapters. Whether it’s former Regent Arthur Hill’s bequest for the construction of the audito- rium that now bears his name, or former athletic director Charles M. Baird’s gift of the Burton Tower carillon, clock and lovely neighboring fountain, we do not have to look far to see the impact of private support on our campus. Today, we are engaged in an extraordinary new building campaign, and I am thrilled to report that the same spirit of philanthropy that shaped our campus for nearly two centuries is alive and well.
