About the Journal

Southeast Asia: A Multidisciplinary Journal is the tri-annually peer reviewed publication of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS), Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD). SEAMJ was launched in 1999. The journal is open access and covers the entire spectrum of the arts, social sciences, and humanities of high-quality theoretical, analytical, and empirical works. While the regional focus of the journal is Southeast Asia and, therefore, most of the articles reflect and relate to this geographical region, articles may still be considered if the topics are of relevance and have significant implications for the region.
