The Southeast Asia Research Centre for Digital Tech and Society (SEADS) is a new research centre based at Monash University Malaysia’s School of Arts and Social Sciences, one of the premier humanities and social science research and teaching institutions in Malaysia. SEADS aims to advance scholarship through critical examination of the relationships between digital technologies and human societies in Southeast Asia using humanities and social science approaches. We also aim to build a platform that conjoins academic research with civil society, governments and corporations in ongoing dialogue, exchanges, and collaborations to understand developments, identify issues, explore alternatives, develop pedagogy and inform the public.

Applications are now open for SEAD's inaugural fully-funded PhD for research projects related to the theme of:

Digital technology & migration (including migrant's use of the digital, biometric ID systems, or remittance economies)
