This talk is an overview of an ongoing book project, tentatively entitled Ethnic Orders, which adopts a comparative and historical perspective on Malayness as a social category. Drawing insights from the fields such as philosophy, history, and linguistic anthropology, and focusing closely on the politics of social status, Ethnic Orders introduces a &#8220;conventional theory of ethnicity&#8221; that makes sense of the diverse meanings and experiences of Malayness in Southeast Asia over the past 500 years. By thinking carefully about ethnicity in the Malay world, the talk introduces a fresh perspective on status and social categories that readily applies to contemporary debates about identity around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Co-sponsored by the EAS &amp; International Studies<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"tribe-block tribe-block__venue tribe-clearfix tribe-block__venue--has-map\" >\n\t\n\t\n<div
