The chosen topic or issue will be developed further and researched under the supervision and with the guidance of at least one Borneo Studies academic staff. The topic or issue in question willbe progressively formulated through consultation and seminar participation. The research process will involve assessed literature review as well as actual on-location fieldwork carried out within a particular Indigenous community.
