Welcome from the President of the Indonesia Council

The Indonesia Council is the peak body for Indonesia focused research in Australia. The Council sits under the Asian Studies Association of Australia. 

The first Indonesia Open Council Conference (ICOC) was held in 2000. In the spirit of that first conference, each biennial gathering has been free and marked by a unique community and commitment to producing first-class research on Indonesia through mentorship and collegiality.

The themes of this year’s ICOC, Sustaining Bilateral Relations, reflects these core values and in 2021, is more important than ever. I am excited to see how our community has navigated the challenges of the global pandemic bringing methodological innovations and opening up new frontiers for critical inquiry.

It takes some fortitude to plan an international conference in a time of COVD-19 and I want to thank the incredible team at the University of Queensland for taking on the challenge of running a hybrid virtual-and-person conference in testing and unpredictable times. I thank our convenors, Dr Greta Nabbs-Keller and Associate Professor Zane Goebel for the work they have put into organising this conference. We also owe an enormous debt to two organisations, the Australia-Indonesia Institute and UQ Global Engagement and Entrepreneurship for providing us with the resources and support to reconnect through our scholarship.

Whether you are here for the postgraduate workshop or presenting or chairing a panel, I wish you a thought-provoking and intellectually-energising conference.

Dr Jacqui Baker
President, Indonesia Council.
