Proposal Submission Deadline:
March 7, 2024
AIFIS in collaboration with Michigan State University (MSU) Asian Studies Center will hold the 4th annual AIFIS-MSU Conference on Indonesian Studies from June 18 - 22, 2024.
The conference continues to highlight and celebrate the growing and evolving academic study of Indonesia, as it aims to expand research dissemination and collaboration by connecting Indonesian scholars with international colleagues in a bilingual and virtual format.
Indonesia Ascendant?
This year’s conference theme, Indonesia Ascendant?, seeks to capture Indonesia’s ascendance on the global stage that is drawing a lot of attention and interest. Notably, Indonesia’s success stands out compared to other contexts as the nation continues to be a global exemplar of religious pluralism and democracy. And yet there is a sense of the Indonesian project being somehow “unfinished,” stuck, or backsliding in some ways.

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. We welcome abstract submissions in the form of individual or multi-authored papers, organized panels, or roundtable discussions.
