CSEAS awarded Foreign Languages and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships for Summer 2021 to UC Berkeley graduate students Sean Cronan (History), Christian Gilberti (South & Southeast Asian Studies), Kirt Mausert (Anthropology), and Oren Samet-Marram (Political Science) to study Burmese. CSEAS also awarded FLAS fellowships to UC Santa Cruz graduate students Wayne Huang (Anthropology) to study Indonesian and Philip Conklin (History of Consciousness) to study Filipino. These FLAS recipients will all study at the Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (SEASSI), the intensive summer language program hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison. SEASSI will offer instruction this summer, as last summer, as synchronous online classes because of ongoing travel restrictions in response to the pandemic.
