One of the themes in the Golay lecture series has concerned trends in historiography and the issues these raise for specialists in Southeast Asian studies, particularly for those historians who would like to see Southeast Asia better integrated into global studies. In their joint Golay lecture Nov. 13, 2015, Barbara Watson Andaya, professor and chair of Asian Studies at University of Hawaii at Manoa, and Leonard Andaya, professor of Southeast Asian history at University of Hawaii at Manoa, discuss how they've addressed these issues in their writing of a regional history of ‘early modern’ Southeast Asia and in their third revised edition of A History of Malaysia.
