The 39th Indonesia Forum Postgraduate Student Symposium – Program and Presenters

2020 marks the 39th Annual Indonesia Forum Postgraduate Student Symposium. The Symposium showcases the research of postgraduate students working in and on Indonesia, including PhD and Research Masters students from across Australian and Indonesian universities. The Symposium provides a key forum for students of Indonesia, regardless of their discipline, to network and share emerging ideas and research findings. At the Symposium there is a strong focus on building and extending transnational research networks between Indonesia and Australia, and sustaining an Indonesia-focused research community that is highly inclusive and supportive of the ongoing careers of current postgraduate students.

This year’s Symposium will be a virtual event using the ZOOM platform. The program features six interdisciplinary panels of papers presented by students and chaired by University of Melbourne academic staff. There is a strong emphasis on brief presentations and extensive group discussion of the work presented. The day will end with a special Round Table Discussion on the impact of COVID-19 on Indonesian researchers and research in Indonesia, and the diverse strategies and innovations people have applied to continue their research during the pandemic.

*Please note that the registration for this symposium will open on October 19, 2020.
