Collecting Southeast Asia:

Wednesday, October 7, 2020 - 12:00 to 1:00 PM
Seminar Via Zoom

Yale’s Librarian for South and Southeast Asian Studies, Dr. Brandon Miliate, will present on his collecting activities for Southeast Asian Studies. After a short overview of the library’s collections and how to start exploring them, Brandon will talk about the ways that Yale has generally pursued area studies collecting, and what things he has been doing in the past year to build these collections as well as the changes he is planning moving forward. Attendees will learn about how librarians decide what to purchase, and how you can influence those decisions to make sure we have the materials that you need from term papers to dissertations.

Hello! Salaam! Namaste! Nomoshkar! Mingalaba! I am the South and Southeast Asian Studies Librarian at Yale University Library. My goal is to make sure that Yale has a fantastic collection of materials for this huge and incredibly diverse region and to make sure that you have access to those materials as well as know what to do with them! Luckily, I have several years of fieldwork in the region, including my dissertation research in Northeast India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. While my PhD is in Political Science (Comparative Politics and International Relations), my graduate training included coursework in Anthropology and History. All of which is to say that if you want to talk South/Southeast Asia from any disciplinary background, I am here to help!
