Jonathan Victor Baldoza, PhD Candidate, Princeton University
“I’m extremely grateful to the Friends of the UW-Madison Libraries for supporting my weeklong research trip in September 2023. I spent most hours consulting materials in different collections across campus, chiefly in the stacks of the Memorial Library and the reading rooms of the Special Collections and the Wisconsin Historical Society. I’m indebted to the UW-Madison Librarian for Southeast Asian/Hmong Studies for directing me to resources that were unfamiliar to me, and for advising on several matters related to library and bibliographic work. I was also assisted by faculty, colleagues, and students of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies. All of this points to the enviable strength of UW-Madison as a research and teaching location for the study of Southeast Asia.”
