Synopsis

The Discipline of Indonesian Studies evolved from the former department of Indonesian and Malayan Studies, which was the earliest Australian university department to specialise in the study of Indonesian languages and societies. The discipline emphasises the importance of providing a rounded education in Indonesian Studies, producing graduates who have both language skills and significant country knowledge. Academic staff have expertise in areas such as Indonesian history, politics, literary and cultural studies  and social change (labour movements, civil society organizations, and social activism) and literary and cultural studies.
