Critical Perspectives on
Contemporary Southeast Asian Politics And Society:
Politics and International Studies, Victoria University and Asia Institute, University of Melbourne
2012 Seminar Series, convened by Dr Max Lane
This seminar series, organised by the Asia Institute at the University of Melbourne and Politics and International Studies, Victoria University , is aimed at creating a forum for following and discussing contemporary political, economic and social developments in the Southeast Asian region. It is hoped that the series, which began in 2nd Semester 2011, will continue into the long-term. The series draws on presenters based in Melbourne, as well as in other parts of Australia and overseas.
While presentations are encouraged that relate directly to a researcher’s current specific research focus, the series is also keen to hear presentations on contemporary developments that flow from lecturers’ and researchers’ general knowledge of the region and their ongoing observation and analysis of developments.
This semester’s program of six seminars includes presentations on Indonesia, including West Papua, the Philippines, Thailand and Timor Leste. Presenters include intellectuals from Indonesia and Timor Leste visiting Australia.
Seminars are held at 5pm on a Wednesday. The presentation by Avelino Coelho, from Timor Leste, will be on a THURSDAY. Most seminars will be held in Room 321, Asia Institute, Level 3, Sidney Myer Asia Centre, Swanston Street, University of Melbourne.

Pertama sekali saya belajar sejarah Indonesia ialah pada tahun 1967 dan 1968 di Sekolah Menengah Atas di Sydney, Australia, kemudian di Department of Indonesian and Malayan Studies, University of Sydney tahun 1969-72. Pada saat itu sejarah Indonesia Merdeka baru berlangsung 22 tahun. Daripada 22 tahun itu, 5 tahun adalah sejarah revolusi (fisik), kemudian ada periode selama 16 tahun yang berakhir pada tahun 1965, dan kemudian 2 tahun Orde Baru. Pada saat itu, sejarah Indonesia Merdeka masih pendek. Sejarah pra-Indonesia – dari sejak Kartini sampai 1945 – sebenarnya juga bukan periode yang berjangka panjang.
Buat dosen-dosen saya zaman itu, menyusun kurikulum sejarah tak terlalu pusing dengan hanya adanya 22 tahun tsb. Di Indonesia sendiri, tentu saja, Indonesia Merdeka belum ada “sejarah” sama sekali. Periode 1945-67 masih sangat kini buat kaum intelektual, aktivis maupun rakyat.
