Call for Abstracts || 2025 AIFIS-MSU Conference on Indonesian Studies /cas/2025/01/14/call-abstracts-2025-aifis-msu-conference-indonesian-studies Call for Abstracts || 2025 AIFIS-MSU Conference on Indonesian Studies Elizabeth Williams Tue, 01/14/2025 - 10:44 Tags: Bulletin Board

Proposal Submission Deadline:
February 28, 2025

The American Institute for Indonesian Studies (AIFIS), in collaboration with Michigan State University (MSU) Asian Studies Center, will hold the 5th annual AIFIS-MSU Conference on Indonesian Studies from June 17 - 21, 2025.

The Conference continues to highlight and celebrate the growing and evolving academic study of Indonesia, and aims to expand research dissemination and collaboration by connecting Indonesian scholars with international colleagues in a bilingual and virtual format. We welcome diverse communities of scholars, practitioners, policy makers, creators and artists, and look forward to hosting a virtual gathering that will attract broad participation worldwide.

“Indonesia in Motion: Aspirations and Apprehensions”

This year’s conference explores the theme “Indonesia in Motion: Aspirations and Apprehensions” to examine the intersections of precarity, resilience, and transformation in Indonesia and beyond. Building from last year’s focus on Indonesia’s global ascendance, our theme this year highlights uncertainties prompted by emerging trends in all aspects of life in Indonesia, past, present, and future. The conference considers the shared hopes and anxieties shaping the experiences of Indonesian and global communities.

Proposals for panels and presentations engaging with this theme or on any other theme focusing on Indonesia and its place in the world are welcomed. Abstracts are accepted in Indonesian and English.

Call for Abstracts

The program committee invites abstract submissions from scholars across broad disciplinary perspectives in the study of Indonesia. While abstracts on any topic focusing on Indonesia are welcome, the committee is especially interested in research that engages discourses on the trajectory of Indonesia, past and present, and broadly defined.

Please join us at the conference virtually and submit your abstracts. Visit the for more information.
