SEALS 31 (2022)

At the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

May 18-20, 2022

*Date Change Notice* Due to an extension on COVID restrictions on the campus of UH Mānoa, we are required to hold the conference during the weekdays. Thus, the conference dates will be changed from May 19-21 to May 18-20, 2022. Note also that in order to accommodate different time zones the conference will take place 1pm to 9pm (Hawaii Standard Time). This will allow our colleagues from Southeast Asia to take part in the conference.


The Department of Linguistics at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa invites scholars working on Southeast Asian linguistics to the 31st Annual Meeting of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society (SEALS), May 18-20, 2022. SEALS 31 (2022) will be a hybrid conference, held concurrently in-person (on the campus of the University of Hawaii at Manoa) and online.

The conference will feature keynotes from Kitima Indambarya – Kasetsart University, Peter Jenks – University of California, Berkeley, and Aldrin Lee – University of the Philippines Diliman.
