The principle mission of Explorations is to offer a forum for students to present disciplinary and interdisciplinary research on a broad range of issues relating principally to the region which today constitutes Southeast Asia. Embracing both the diversity of academic interests and scholastic expertise it is hoped that this forum will introduce students to the work of their colleagues, encourage discussion both within and across disciplines, and foster a sense of community among those interested in Southeast Asia.
Current and past editions of Explorations are available for download from ScholarSpace, the University of Hawaii’s Institutional Repository and have persistent URLs, suited to academic citations.

Spring 2010 (Coming Soon)
It is with great pleasure that we present the 2009 edition of EXPLORATIONS, a graduate student journal of Southeast Asian studies. Articles in this volume touch on a diverse array of topics, from Muslim dolls to a dark period between those darker in Cambodia’s history to linguistic code-switching in Malay to the sea people who call Southeast Asian waters home. Equally diverse are the authors and editors who contributed to this edition, a committed group of burgeoning Southeast Asianists hailing from countries around the globe.
In many ways, this edition represents the changing face of Southeast Asian scholarship – from the disciplinary diversity of the topics explored, to the identities, nationalities, and research interests of the explorers themselves.
