The American Institute for Indonesian Studies (AIFIS), in collaboration with Michigan State University (MSU) Asian Studies Center, will hold the 2nd annual AIFIS-MSU Conference on Indonesian Studies from June 21 - 25, 2022. The Conference celebrates the growing and evolving academic study of Indonesia, and expands research dissemination and collaboration by connecting Indonesian scholars with international colleagues in a bilingual and virtual format.

This year’s theme, Indonesian Studies: Emerging Discourses and Collaborations in a New Age, draws attention to the dynamic growth of academic scholarship on Indonesia and the voices of long-term and new members of the research community. The AIFIS-MSU Conference on Indonesian Studies highlights the community’s contributions to and engagements in transnational dialogues through new modalities despite great global challenges, leading to new insights on historical and contemporary issues related to Indonesia.

The Conference encourages connections and boundary-crossings among scholars of Indonesia across geographical and disciplinary divides. Together we seek to multiply the spirit of kerja sama / collaboration among a diversity of scholars and scholarly communities.
