C.U. in Southeast Asia students immersed in meditation and prayer
Our C.U. in Southeast Asia students have been learning about the religious worlds of the South Asian diaspora in Malaysia, Singapore and Myanmar centered upon Hindu, Muslim and Sikh temples and shrines.

These will shape the research projects that the students focus on next semester.
