This workshop will outline the latest broad insights into the changing dynamics of gender and sexuality, with an emphasis on health, in contemporary Indonesia. The workshop aims to foster a network of researchers interested in gender and sexuality in Indonesia, with a particular focus on collaborative efforts with Indonesian researchers.
Keynote speakers:
Dr Ignatius Praptoraharjo, Atma Jaya University, Jakarta
Dr Sandeep Nanwani, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Indonesia
The two keynote speakers will present papers on the contemporary context for undertaking research about sexual and reproductive health in Indonesia.
Eight invited speakers will present short, update-style papers (10 minutes) which aim to generate new insights into the current role of gender and sexuality as it plays out against broader transformations underway in Indonesia.
Registrations to the day’s presentations is open to all; but especially to PhD students, postgraduates, Indonesian students and community members, and members of the academic community here in Melbourne.
Although morning tea (tea, coffee and snacks) will be provided, unfortunately lunch is not. A wide range of food options are available for purchase within walking distance of the venue.
