Introduction

Explorations is a student production of the Southeast Asian Studies Student Association in association with the Center for Southeast Asian Studies and with financial assistance provided by the Associated Students at the University of Hawaii.

The principal 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.

The views expressed in Explorations are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the editorial staff. Constructive critiques of the articles contained within this volume are encouraged and will be selectively published in the following edition. Those interested in assisting in the production of Explorations are encouraged to contact the Student Editorial Board for more information. Questions, comments, and submission inquiries should be directed to Explorations, CSEAS, University of Hawaii at Manoa, 1890 East-West Road, Honolulu HI 96822 or by e-mail to seassa@hawaii.edu.
