The Asia Research Institute (ARI) is a university-level research 🏷️#institute at the National University of Singapore (NUS), established in 2001 as a focal point for world-class research on the Asian region. It brings together scholars from departments, faculties, and colleges across the university for seminars, conferences, and collaborative research projects.

ARI engages the humanities and social sciences broadly defined, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary frontiers between and beyond disciplines. Its research thrusts span migration, urbanization, family, cultural studies, religion and globalisation, and science, technology, and society. The institute sustains thematic research clusters and study groups, and is central to networks of associates in Singapore and overseas. Justin's work on religion and society in Asia connects to ARI through a past affiliation with the institute.
