The Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS), part of the Institute for Regional and International Studies (IRIS) at UW–Madison, is launching the next phase of its significant, long-standing efforts in sustainable Southeast Asian language education. This four-year project, led by Principal Investigator Erlin Barnard in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, is generously supported by a $1,200,000 grant from the Henry Luce Foundation. Commencing on September 1, 2025, and concluding on August 31, 2029, this endeavor addresses a fundamental challenge in less-commonly-taught languages (LCTL).
