Dr. Jennifer Goodlander is the Director of Southeast Asian and ASEAN studies. She is an Associate Professor in the Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance where she teaches classes on global theatre, directing, and performance studies. Professor Goodlander’s main area of research, creative work, and teaching centers on tensions between tradition and modernity as expressed in transnational performance, literature, and other arts—primarily in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, especially in relation to gender, sexuality, and cultural identity. She is excited to return to SEAS where she was the Director from 2017 until 2019.
