The Dynamics of Cultural Unity and Diversity in Southeast Asia is being proposed as a five-week summer institute designed to enable undergraduate educators infuse significant content on Southeast Asian cultures and societies into their teaching. The challenges of teaching about a region as geographically and culturally varied as Southeast Asia will be met by investigating how its cultures and societies have themselves negotiated impulses for both unity and diversity, with a particular focus on how the interplay of indigenous and outside cultures of authority have distinctively shaped Southeast Asian religious, political, literary, artistic and historiographical traditions. |
