CSEAS Diversity Statement

Diversity is a source of strength, creativity, and innovation for the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at UW-Madison. We value the contributions of each person and respect the profound ways their identity, culture, background, experience, status, abilities, and opinion enrich the university community. We commit ourselves to the pursuit of excellence in teaching, research, outreach, and diversity as inextricably linked goals.

The Center for Southeast Asian Studies, as an integral part of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is committed to fulfilling its public mission by creating a welcoming and inclusive community for people from every background — people who as students, faculty, and staff serve Wisconsin and the world. We commit ourselves to maintain a welcoming and inclusive environment in our learning spaces and workspaces.
