Welcome to the
Department of Malay Studies

We are a small but exciting Department with staff members and visiting fellows studying the peoples and cultures of the Malay world. We adopt a broad definition of the Malay world, referring to the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago consisting of Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, southern Thailand and the southern Philippines. It also includes areas with Malay minorities such as Singapore, and countries to which the Malay diaspora had spread such as Sri Lanka, Madagascar and South Africa. Our research and teaching programme revolves around three core areas: social development and political economy, literature and history.
