On 24 October, 2023, we were devastated to hear of the sudden passing of Dr Amanda Schiller. Amanda was a PhD researcher and staff member at Flinders University in Indonesian and development studies, who then went on to work with The Australian Consortium for 'In-Country' Indonesian Studies (ACICIS) and The Australia Awards most recently in Jakarta. Amanda was an absolute champion of Australia-Indonesia friendship, passionate about development, education, and social justice.

When Gavin Jones died in Perth on August 27, 2022, we lost one of the pioneers of Indonesian studies. He helped to shape a culture of collaboration and inclusiveness that is a prime characteristic among Indonesianists in Australia.

UPDATE: recording and documentation of this session are now available.
