The title of the 2020 conference is "Southeast Asia 2020: New Era, New Goals, New Challenges”. As an annual event, WENZAO Ursuline International Conference on Southeast Asia Studies (ICSEAS) brings together the ASEAN’s leading scholars and promising graduate students under one roof to discuss the old issues and new challenges of Southeast Asia. This is a must attend event for all Southeast Asian specialists in political economy, security, civil society and culture in the academia to discuss and exchange views in their fields of expertise. The conference continues to adopt an inclusive and multidisciplinary approach to examine the new forces that will continue to shape both regional and international relations and challenges in the new era 2020. Recent political and international events -- including China-US Trade War, the prospect of ASEAN Community, revisions of major historical events, democratization and reforms efforts in individual Southeast Asian countries -- are some of the exciting topics. Research papers in fields such as culture, mass media, gender studies, language teaching, history, environment and development studies, are all welcome.
