PROJECTS/ ACHIEVEMENTS Indonesia visits/engagementA number of visits to and from Indonesia occurred in 2015, aiming to strengthen research and executive education collaborations:

In February, Mark Considine, John Murphy and Rachael Diprose visited Jakarta to meet with several ministries, including the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) and the National Institute of Public Administration (LAN), as well as the Australian aid and Australia Awards programs. They also visited Yogyakarta to meet with the Australian Consortium of In-Country Indonesian Studies (ACISIS), and the Faculty of Social and Political Science at UGM for discussions on the joint masters subjects and research collaboration.

Mark Considine and Rachael Diprose participated in a workshop organised by the National Institute of Public Administration (LAN). The ‘Policy Analysis Curriculum Development Executive Program’ is designed to assist LAN to design and implement a training program for civil servants. The program has been resourced by the DFAT-funded Knowledge Sector Initiative. In addition, in Jakarta, Mark Considine and Rachael Diprose met with the DFAT-funded Empowering Indonesian Women for Poverty Reduction (MAMPU) program to discuss another executive education initiative.

SPSS, the dean and Melbourne School of Government hosted a dinner in April for Indonesian visitors for the ‘Policy Analysis Curriculum Development Executive Program’. The Indonesian delegation included leaders from LAN, the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform, senior staff from UI and UGM, and the Knowledge Sector Initiative. Erwan Purwanto, the dean of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at UGM, and Eko Prasojo, professor at the University of Indonesia and former deputy minister for bureacratic reform, met Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research) Jim McCluskey at a dinner during the same visit.

John Murphy participated in a workshop on ‘Australian Studies’ at UGM and gave a keynote lecture. The workshop, organised by UGM, was funded by an Australia Award Alumni grant, with additional funding support from the SSPS HSIF. The workshop aimed to establish a network of Indonesian university staff teaching Australian Studies (primarily politics and foreign policy).

In September, two senior academics from UGM (the vice dean of the Faculty of Political and Social Science and the head of the Borderlands Governance Group) visited Melbourne for a three-day workshop on ‘Borderlands, Frontiers and Conflict’ to develop collaborative research projects with SSPS staff.

Paul Green is developing an undergraduate subject in the anthropology major, ‘Tourism in Southeast Asia,’ to be delivered on site at Udayana University in Denpasar, Bali in July 2017, in in collaboration with scholars from the university.

John Murphy and Rachael Diprose attended a meeting with State Secretariat Minister Pratikno, facilitated by the dean of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at UGM, to discuss the ministry’s training needs, from short executive education courses to Masters and PhD study.

John Murphy held discussions with staff in the UGM departments of international relations, and public policy, which conduct their undergraduate programs in English and require their students to study abroad. The intention is to have UGM students study for a semester in the Bachelor of Arts.

John Murphy participated in a workshop on social policy, partly funded from the SSPS HSIF. This followed up on a workshop in Melbourne in November 2014 on ‘Indonesian Social Policy in Comparative Perspective’.

• Supports a PhD scholarship to research borderlands in Borneo (supervised by Bart Klem and Rachael Diprose)

John Murphy is conducting a joint research project on social policy with Bagus Aryo at the University of Indonesia. The research aims to conduct a pilot project investigating Indonesian normative attitudes to welfare, and to government, community and family responsibility.

A faculty grant was provided to Sarah Maddison and Rachael Diprose for work on conflict transformation in five countries, including Indonesia and Australia. This led to an ARC Discovery Grant (submitted Feb 2016) on ‘Dialogue and Conflict Transformation in Australia and the Region’, which will involve significant research and collaboration in Indonesia.

Rachael Diprose, Kate Macdonald and Nanang Indra Kurniawan (from the Asia Institute) are conducting research on resource governance and legitimacy in Indonesia with UGM staff.

Executive education activitiesTwo major executive education programs were developed and taught in collaboration with the Melbourne School of Government:

‘Policy Analysis Curriculum Development Executive Program’, a one-week program held in Melbourne. Hosted and taught by Mark Considine, Rachael Diprose and Helen Dickinson. Participants included senior leaders at the Indonesian Institute of Public Administration (LAN), the Indonesian National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), and professors from UI and UGM. The program was funded by the Knowledge Sector Initiative in Indonesia and administered through the Nossal Institute for Global Health at the University of Melbourne. It also involved collaboration with departments of the Victorian government (a one-day workshop with five departments), the governor of Victoria, and the Brotherhood of St Laurence.

‘Evidence-Based Policy Advocacy Executive Program’, a one-week program taught in Yogyakarta and funded by the DFAT-supported MAMPU (Empowering Indonesian Women for Poverty Reduction) program. It was hosted by Rachael Diprose and Helen Dickenson (with teaching by Sara Bice and Catherine Smith) and involved collaboration with UGM (five staff who facilitated group work through the program; and five senior faculty members, including the dean, participated in key activities). The program was taught in Indonesian (directly, or with simultaneous translation) and all materials were provided in Indonesian. Participants included 25 representatives from civil society organisations working on women’s empowerment in Indonesia and 10 observers. This program will be repeated in 2016.

STAFF WITH INDONESIA INTERESTSDr Aline Scott-Maxwell

Mr Richard Serle

Aline Scott-Maxwell is the liaison librarian for Indonesian Studies. Her role at the University of Melbourne is part of a co-operative arrangement with Monash University Library, where she is Senior Asian Studies Librarian and subject librarian for Indonesian Studies. The co-operative arrangement is formalised as Asian Libraries in Melbourne, which promotes resource sharing between University of Melbourne and Monash University libraries and reciprocal access to their Asian collections. Aline Scott-Maxwell provides specialist Indonesian studies library support to staff and postgraduates from the Asia Institute and Indonesia Forum, including research consultations and research skills development. She also coordinates collection development.

Additional library support for Indonesian studies in 2015 was provided by Richard Serle, the Pitt Officer, who assisted to build the Library’s Indonesian collection in the area of acquisitions.

In 2015, the library continued to develop its collections of Indonesia-related monographs and other materials in Indonesian politics and government, religion, history, anthropology, language, literature, law, education, mass media, architecture and performance. These acquisitions included films and documentaries on DVD. Some 260 Indonesian-language monographs were purchased, of which 219 were funded by the Pitt Bequest (which supports the work of the School of Historical Studies). Most of these were supplied by Indonesian vendor Patamga Dhanam Jaya (formerly PT Bhratara Niaga). A further 41 books in English and three electronic books on Indonesian subjects were purchased from the library’s allocation to the Asia Institute and the Arts approval plan. A print/online subscription to Tempo was also re-commenced.

There are now well over 15,000 Indonesia-related items in the collections, including more than 7,000 Indonesian-language items. There are over 2000 Indonesia-related electronic resources on the library catalogue, mainly English-language. These include e-books, reports, facsimiles of early works and journals.

Professor Yati SoenartoPROFESSOR YATI SOENARTO HAS BEEN CALLED

THE MOTHER OF MODERN PAEDIATRICS IN INDONESIA

Professor Yati Soenarto was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Melbourne’s School of Medicine in November 2015. Since graduating in medicine from Gadjah Mada University (UGM), she has pursued a quest to improve the health of the nation’s children and build paediatric capacity in Indonesia’s medical workforce. Professor Soenarto’s longstanding relationship with the University of Melbourne began over 40 years ago, when she collaborated on rotavirus and diarrhoea disease management research with Professor Ruth Bishop AO and Professor Graeme Barnes. Her collaboration now extends across a range of child health research activities with the Centre for International Child Health and the Royal Children’s Hospital. Her work with Professors Bishop and Barnes led to the identification of rotavirus as the chief cause of severe diarrhoea throughout the developing world.

Professor Soenarto has since gone on to introduce a program of oral rehydration for diarrhoeal disease in Indonesia that is being used as a model in developing countries worldwide, and is chief investigator in a multi-partner clinical, academic and corporate collaboration aimed at manufacturing the rotavirus vaccine in Indonesia. With numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals, she has made important contributions in the areas of epidemiology

and translational research into common childhood diseases. She has conducted investigations into zinc therapy for diarrhoea, led the development of policy on diarrhoeal disease control and integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI) for introduction in the curriculum of Indonesian medical schools. Her contributions to the development of paediatrics in Indonesia and the advancement of public paediatric health will benefit generations of children, their families, communities and nations.

In 2014, the University welcomed the 12th cohort of the University of Melbourne-University of Indonesia Bachelor of Medical Science program (pictured in background), a one-year program that provides international medical

students with an experiential introduction to the process of biomedical research. Since its inception in 2003, more than 350 medical students from University of Indonesia have participated in this program, building strong linkages in

the academic and medical fields between Australia and Indonesia. May 2015 saw the completion of Batch 12 of the program, with 17 students graduating.

PROJECTS / ACHIEVEMENTSJustin Bilszta and Anita Horvath are collaborating with Dr Ardi Findyartini, MD, PhD, and Dr Diantha Soemantri, MD, PhD, from the Department of Medical Education at the University of Indonesia, on a research project to evaluate the experiences of students who undertake the Bachelor of Medical Science program. This project will explore the experiences of students who undertake a clinical placement in Australia and compare this to a similar group of students who undertake clinical placements in Indonesia. A focus of the study will be their in-placement experiences, especially in relation to language and cultural acclimatisation, as well as the integration of the Australia-exposed students back into the clinical environment on return to Indonesia.

Dr Bilszta and Ms Lysk were awarded a grant from the Australia Indonesia Institute to develop a training program for clinical teachers from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Indonesia. This work has been completed in collaboration with Dr Findyartini and Dr Soemantri. The project involved mapping the current clinical teacher training programs provided by UI to identify gaps and areas for further training development. From this mapping process, a new training program was developed, which aligned with University of Melbourne’s Graduate Certificate in Clinical Teaching, allowing graduates of the UI program to receive credit at the University. Dr Bilszta and Ms Lysk have also been involved in train-the-trainer program at UI.

PROJECTS/ ACHIEVEMENTSThe University of Melbourne is working with the Department of Paediatrics at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) in Yogyakarta on a neonatal rotavirus vaccine trial, which is being conducted in Yogyakarta and surrounding districts. This has involved training of over 500 staff at UGM and in the community in Good Clinical Practice (GCP) requirements, recognition and management of common childhood illness and advanced paediatric life support for doctors at primary health centres. In addition, studies have been developed that will lead to research higher degrees including a study on maternal antibodies and immune response to rotavirus vaccines (Vicka Oktaria, PhD candidate). The program is also working closely with the Indonesian government vaccine manufacturer, BioFarma with the aim to manufacture the RV3 rotavirus vaccine at low cost for babies in Indonesia and globally.

The Centre for International Child Health is working with the Department of Paediatrics at UGM on several research projects that will lead to higher research degrees for their staff. In 2015, two staff members of UGM’s Paediatrics Research Centre achieved PhDs through the University of Melbourne: Dr Rina Triasi, whose research focused on community-based prevention of childhood tuberculosis, and Dr Indah Kartika Murni, whose research examined rational antibiotic prescribing and the prevention of hospital acquired infections in Indonesia.

In November 2015, the Department’s partner and friend in Indonesia, Professor Yati Soenarto was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Melbourne (see box on page 35).

SUPERVISIONIn 2015, the Department of Paediatrics and the Royal Children’s Hospital Centre for International Child Health supervised three research higher degree students with Indonesia-related topics (see Appendices 1 and 2).

The Centre for Health Service Management (Pusat Manajemen Pelayanan Kesehatan) under Professor Yodi Mahendradhata;

The Centre for Reproductive Health (Pusat Kespro) under Professor Siswanto Wilopo;

Nossal Institute staff members also collaborate closely with The University of Indonesia, particularly with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and the Medicine Faculty research office, under Dr Budi Wiweko.

PROJECTS / ACHIEVEMENTSKnowledge Sector Initiative (KSI) The Nossal Institute continued to provide technical inputs into the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade-supported Knowledge Sector Initiative in 2015, but on a reduced scale, following large reductions in the budget allocated by DFAT. The program was also significantly revised to focus more on specific policy issues, and building links between researchers, intermediaries and policy makers around these issues.

The Nossal Institute completed the Health Sector Mapping study, which it commenced in 2014, and presented the results and recommendations to the KSI team. The study identified the importance of ‘practice knowledge’, knowledge of how to operate in the specific Indonesian context, and informal oral communication through trusted advisors, as key aspects of the knowledge to policy pathways in the health sector.

Australia-Indonesia Partnerships in Maternal and Neonatal Health (AIPMNH)The Nossal Institute continued to provide technical assistance, particularly in the area of monitoring and evaluation, as the AIPMNH program drew to a close at the end of 2015. Analysis of data up to 2014 demonstrated that the program had been successful in assisting the provincial and district governments of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) to reduce maternal mortality by 40 per cent since 2009, when nationally the reduction was less than 10 per cent over the same period.

With the cessation of funding, Nossal mainly supported the finalisation of studies of specific program interventions, the development of investment cases describing effective interventions, and in the preparation of the end of program reports. Key elements that contributed to the program’s success were: strong local ownership and commitment from provincial and district governments; a comprehensive approach from community level to referral hospital; long-term support providing adequate time for institutional change; and flexible funding that allowed for experimentation, innovation and information dissemination. One paper on the program’s special studies of neonatal death has been published, and another paper is in preparation.

Indonesia Health System report for the Asia Pacific Observatory (Health in Transition report)The Nossal Institute is one of the research partners of the Asia Pacific Observatory on Health Systems and Policies. Nossal has taken on the role of editor for the ‘Health in Transition’ report, a systematic assessment of the Indonesian health system. These reports follow a standard World Health Organisation-endorsed template, and provide a comprehensive review of the national health system, with a particular focus on health financing, regulation, service delivery, health sector reforms and population health outcomes. While the report was prepared by a team of authors led by the Centre for Health Policy and Management at Gadjah Mada University, Nossal provided technical oversight, review, and ensured the report adhered to the template requirements. By the end of the year, Nossal had overseen the response to external review of the final draft, and the report has been submitted for publication by the Observatory, most likely in mid-2016.

Regional (Indonesia-related) research grants won in 2015:Bennett, Linda Rae, ‘Infertility, Family Formation and Reproductive Mobilities Within and Beyond Indonesian Borders’, Visiting Senior Research Fellowship Asia Research Centre, National University of Singapore, July-October.

Wilopo, Siswanto, Bennett, Linda Rae and Spagnoletti, Belinda, ‘Surveillance of the Burden of HPV Infection and HPV Type-Specific Distribution in Central Java, Indonesia: Implications for a Prevention Strategy’, $60,000 grant provided under the Indonesian Directorate General of Higher Education (Dikti)-AIC Small Grants Scheme - Round 2.

Belinda Spagnoletti, PhD CandidateBelinda Spagnoletti is a PhD Candidate at the Nossal Institute for Global Health, School of Population and Global Health, University of Melbourne. In 2014 she was awarded an Endeavour Research Fellowship to undertake an ethnographic study in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In Yogyakarta she was based at the Center for Reproductive Health in the Faculty of Medicine at Gadjah Mada University. Belinda’s doctoral research explores the understandings and experiences of urban women who have recently given birth in relation to family planning, reproductive health and breastfeeding. Despite the persistently high rate of maternal mortality in the country, the contemporary reproductive health and family planning needs of postpartum women have been underexplored in the Indonesian context. There has also been a lack of critical inquiry into the Indonesian government’s recent law pertaining to exclusive breastfeeding, breastfeeding health promotion and women’s transitions from maternity leave into the paid work sector. Her research aims to qualitatively address these gaps in present knowledge.

Prior to commencing her doctoral degree Belinda worked in research support and coordination at the University of South Australia, gaining 10 years’ of multidisciplinary experience in a broad range of research areas including Indigenous health promotion, education policy and language preservation; international relations and international business; and agricultural economics. Belinda earned her Bachelor of Arts (Hons, First Class) in International Studies at the University of South Australia and was awarded a university medal for her undergraduate studies.

Rifqi Assegaf, PhD CandidateRifqi Assegaf, a PhD candidate at the Melbourne Law School, is one of Indonesia’s leading young legal researchers and thinkers. His main areas of interest and expertise are justice sector reform, judicial corruption and access to information. He previously served as the head of the Indonesian Institute for an Independent Judiciary (LeIP) and was a member of the Supreme Court Judicial Reform Team from 2003-2008, where he helped to draft the Court’s Blueprint for Judicial Reform. From 2010-2011, he served as the head of the research division of the Presidential Taskforce on Eradication of the Judicial Mafia. From 2011-2014, he was assistant to the head of the Presidential Unit for the Monitoring and Oversight of Development (UKP4).

Rifqi’s doctoral research explores criminal sentencing practices in Indonesia. Indonesian criminal law provides judges with broad sentencing discretion and anecdotal evidence suggests sentencing practices suffer from disparity and disproportionality. Rifqi’s research will analyse hundreds of sentencing decisions from selected courts in Indonesia to explore the legal and extra-legal factors that influence and limit how judges exercise their discretion. In particular, his research will assess how judges consider mitigating and aggravating factors in sentencing, especially when faced with minor cases that are punishable by minimum penalties. His research will also examine the sentencing reforms outlined in the proposed revised Criminal Code currently being deliberated in the national legislature.

Enhancing Energy Sustainability in Naval and Aerospace Systems AUSTRALIA INDONESIA CENTRE SMALL PROJECT GRANT AWARDED TO UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE AND 10 NOVEMBER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SURABAYA (ITS) RESEARCHERS

Associate Professors Nicholas Hutchins and Jason Monty, from the School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Melbourne, and Professors I Ketut Aria Pria Utama and I Ketut Suastika, from 10 November Institute of Technology (ITS) in Surabaya, were awarded an Australia-Indonesia Centre (AIC) small project grant in November 2014 to quantify the deleterious effect of bio-fouling on ship performance. Bio-fouling refers to the buildup of marine organisms on the hull of a ship, which transform the hull surface from an optimal smooth condition to a complex topology of marine species. The surface roughness caused by this layer leads to a pronounced increase in drag and reduction in operating efficiency (reduced speed or additional fuel usage and emissions). Using underwater surface scanning techniques, and laser-based measurements of the water flow over the hull of the ship, this project aims to accurately quantify the increase in drag caused by different fouling conditions. Sea trials are ongoing in Indonesia.

The $15,00 seed funding provided by the AIC was leveraged to add an international dimension and allowed significant scaling up of the project. What began as a collaboration between the University of Melbourne and ITS has now grown to include the Indonesian Classification Bureau (BKI), ship operator Dharma Lautan Utama and marine coatings manufacturer Hempel A/S. The University of Melbourne also secured Newton Funding through the British Council, which will be shared between the University of Southhampton and ITS. The project is an example of effective cross-institutional collaboration, capitalising on the maritime expertise of ITS engineers and fluid mechanics expertise at the University of Melbourne.

PROJECTS / ACHIEVEMENTSInfrastructure Cluster of the Australia-Indonesia CentreProfessor Colin Duffield is co-leader of the Infrastructure Cluster of the Australia-Indonesia Centre. During 2015, the Infrastructure Cluster was successful in obtaining $2.1 million in research funding through an active investment plan. The long-term goal of the Infrastructure Cluster is ‘Building Sustainable and Resilient Portal Cities’. Specific projects of note relate to: Improving rail infrastructure (interfacing to a port intermodal terminal); Efficient facilitation of major infrastructure projects; Effective structuring and packaging of funding and financing arrangements for the delivery of infrastructure; Seismic performance of critical infrastructures in port development; and Internet of things, big-data analytics and smart cities.

The infrastructure cluster held a number of workshops during the year:

• Infrastructure Cluster Planning Workshop, Surabaya, 21-24 January

• Infrastructure Research Cluster Workshop, Melbourne, 30 March-2 April

• The Australia-Indonesia Centre Infrastructure and Energy Forum, Jakarta, 20 April

• Australia-Indonesia Centre Cluster Planning Workshops, Jakarta, 21-22 April

Professor Duffield and his team worked closely with the team from the Indonesian Infrastructure Initiative of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to complete a feasibility study for the establishment of the Indonesian Centre for Infrastructure Policy Studies (3IDE). The project was completed with a major workshop held in conjunction with the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs in Jakarta in May.

The infrastructure cluster also hosted PhD visitation to University of Melbourne by delegates from ITS, Surabaya, on 3 November.

Energy Cluster of the Australia-Indonesia CentreUniversity of Melbourne staff members are also active in the Energy Cluster, with specific projects including:

• Energy sustainability in naval and aerospace systems through improved turbulence management

• Evaluation of technologies for energy from biomass and waste

• Mapping the energy resources and infrastructure of Indonesia and Australia

The Australia-Indonesia Centre confirmed funding for the Energy Cluster to the scale of $2.1 million over three years (http://australiaindonesiacentre.org/clusters/energy/). The University of Melbourne, through Robert Gordon, has been awarded $60,000 of this for research into ‘Development of Enhanced Technology Cost Assessment Models’, which will take place in one of the strategic research programs.

Dr Gordon was also a participant on a Rapid Start program, ‘Mapping the Energy Resources and Infrastructure of Indonesia and Australia’ ($60,000), with Dr Ariel Liebman, Professor Ken Baldwin, Dr Igor Skryabin, Professor Tony Vassallo, Dr Yuli S Indartono, Associate Professor Ulfah Siregar, and Dr Muhammad Kholid Ridwan.

In 2014, the AIC funded 24 small projects up to the value of $20,000, nine of which related to the energy sector. Two projects were awared to University of Melbourne researchers, and have continued in 2015:

• ‘Evaluation of Technologies for Energy from Biomass and Waste’, which is being completed by Associate Professor Lu Aye, from University of Melbourne, and Professor Armansyah Tambunan, from IPB.

• ‘Enhancement of Energy Sustainability in Naval and Aerospace Systems Through Improved Understanding and Management of Wall-Bounded Turbulence’, which is being completed by Nicholas Hutchins from the University of Melbourne, Professor I Ketut Aria Pria Utama, and I Ketut Suastika from ITS (see box on page 46, opposite)..

Dr Gordon also attended the UN Joint Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) Workshop on ‘Priorities and Pathways for Sustainable Energy and Deep Decarbonization in Indonesia’, November.

HONORARY PROFESSORIAL FELLOWProfessor Jim Falk

PROJECTSWolfram Dressler was awarded an ARC Future Fellowship (2014-2018) to examine local social responses to the convergence of transnational governance, major resource extraction/ investment and climate change in the Philippines and Indonesia. As part of his Fellowship, Dressler has been working with the nongovernmental organisation Operation Wallacea Tropical (OWT), based in Bogor, West Java, on a study of the history of forest conservation programs in East Kalimantan. Dr Dressler and his team have examined the ways in which conservation NGOs have provided incentives to draw farmers toward forest conservation for orangutan protection and how these incentives and associated forest stewardship have proven difficult. Farmers’ aspirations for wealth tend to align more closely with oil palm production, and other cash cropping initiatives. Dr Dressler is in the process of writing one of the papers associated with this project.

Wolfram Dressler, Future FellowWolfram Dressler’s research examines human-environment relations within the framework of critical political ecology in conservation and development. He is interested in how regional political economic processes shape resource access and use, exchange relations and environmental change at different societal scales in Southeast Asia. Ethnographic in nature, Wolfram’s work examines the historical origins and contemporary consequences of changing conservation practices on the livelihoods and landscapes of rural, resource-reliant peoples in insular Southeast Asia. In July 2014, Wolfram began a four-year Australia Research Council Future Fellowship at the School of Geography.

His project examines local social responses to the convergence of transnational governance, major resource extraction and investment (biofuels, for example) and climate change in the Philippines and Indonesia. As an entry point, he is examining the process and outcomes of indigenous social movements engaging boom crop production and carbon governance in the context of agrarian political economies in southern Palawan, Philippines. This work is being conducted in collaboration with indigenous NGO Natripal, Palawan State University, and the University of the Philippines Los Banos.

Louise Choi and Jacob Mulligan, third-year Bachelor of Arts students from the University of Melbourne, spent one month at Cemeti Art House in Yogyakarta, from 27 June–26 July. This opportunity provided recipients with professional development opportunities in Asia, and enabled the sharing of skills, knowledge and networks with local host communities.

LOUISE CHOI Louise is an art history and media and communications student at the University of Melbourne. Having spent her life split between Australia and Hong Kong, she has been drawn to art practices that engage in cross-cultural storytelling. Her interests often return to the memories and emotional minutia that connect people to places. She has worked for Time Out HK, a charity called KELY Support Group, and at RTIST Gallery in Prahran. Louise mostly writes around themes of in-betweenness and empathy, dark humour and heartbreak, and the absurdity of trauma. At Cemeti Art House, she worked with oral histories to find platforms beyond the written word to create and explore concepts like ‘emotional architecture’ and ‘delirious humour’.

JAKE MULLIGAN Jake Mulligan is an aspiring writer and journalist from Tasmania. Before undertaking study at the University of Melbourne, he completed a diploma in Screen Studies at Academy of the Arts Inveresk. His writing interests include travel journalism, politics, film criticism and fiction. In 2015, Jake had his first fiction piece published in the LGBTIQ Alex Zine Project. He also has a strong interest in Southeast Asia. He used the internship program to foster further collaborative practices between Australia and Indonesia, by connecting with fellow art-lovers through critical discussion and the implementation of projects.

Asialink Dialogues and Applied Research Asialink Dialogues and Applied Research develops Track 2 diplomacy and applied research on Australia’s engagement with Asia. In collaboration with regional partners, it convenes and participates in dialogues, and contributes to public debate, both in Australia and across the region.

In 2015, this included:

• Hosting a roundtable discussion with two Indonesian journalists from Kompas TV, with participation from the Australia Indonesia Business Council, on 16 June.

• Coordinating a one-day symposium on leadership and economic diplomacy for 30 visiting Indonesian diplomats and business leaders, as part of the Australia Indonesia Centre Emerging Leaders Program (AIC ELP) in partnership with the Centre for Workplace Leadership, the Melbourne School of Government, and the Carlton Connect Initiative.

• Hosting the signature ‘Asialink Conversations’ on the theme of women’s leadership in Southeast Asia and Australia. Forty participants from ASEAN and Australia, across government, media, business, and civil society, discussed common challenges and effective strategies for change with participant interviews and summaries of research published on the Asialink website.

• Delivering the 8th annual ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Dialogue in partnership with the Institute of Strategic and International Studies Malaysia (ISIS) and the Asia New Zealand Foundation. The dialogue explored common challenges and identified policy opportunities for strengthening relations between Australia, New Zealand and the ASEAN member nations. Discussion covered the possible positive and negative consequences of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), current measures and cooperation in countering violent extremism, South China Sea issues, and Southeast Asian anxieties regarding Australia’s refugee resettlement scheme in Cambodia.

STAFF WITH INDONESIA INTERESTSProfessor Barbara Bolt (VCA)

Professor Jon Cattapan (VCA)

Dr Marnie Badham (Centre for Cultural Partnerships)

PROJECTSThe VCA has been involved in establishing higher-order dialogue centred on developing practice-led innovation in the visual and performing arts between Australia and Indonesia, particularly with the Graduate School at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) in Yogyakarta.

Professor Barbara Bolt has been working closely with Professor Djohan, director of the Graduate School at ISI, since 2014 in building links. In 2015, through a Dyason Grant, led by Professor Jon Cattapan, there was an exchange between Professor Djohan and Professor Bolt, which focused on developing a publishing project involving mentoring emerging arts researchers across Southeast Asia. Professor Djohan, Professor Bolt and Professor Samuel Leong, deputy director of the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts, are proposing to use the 4th International Conference for Asia Pacific Arts Studies (ICAPAS) to develop a series of workshops that will work toward producing an edited volume around the theme of the conference, ‘Reconceptualizing Art Research’.

In 2015, VCA also hosted Yudi Tajudin, the eminent artistic director of Teater Garasi in Yogyakarta, and this was followed in 2016 by a visit by VCA Theatre lecturer Tony Smith to Teater Garasi and ISI in Yogyakarta.

The Centre for Cultural Partnerships at the VCA and MCM mainly worked on planning activities during 2015. In particular, it was involved in developing a research framework with Associate Professor Audrey Yue in the leadup to the Asia-Pacific Triennial of Performing ArtsAsiaTopa) in February 2017.

Melbourne Conservatorium of MusicThe Melbourne Conservatorium of Music maintains three sets of gamelan (Javanese, Sundanese and Cirebonese musical instruments/orchestras), representing many of the gamelan traditions of Indonesia, as well as a set of wayang kulit puppets and a kecapi-suling ensemble. There is active study and performance of gamelan music and associated performing arts, such as puppetry and dance. The gamelan collection is housed in the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music’s Parkville annex in Berkeley Street.

TEACHINGGamelan classes remained popular in 2015, with 39 students enrolled in first semester and 39 students enrolled in second semester. Many of these students took gamelan as a breadth subject, a subject from a discipline different to their primary area of study. All students participated in a joint concert with Melbourne Community Gamelan at the end of both semesters.

Ilona Wright taught ‘Gamelan in Modern Indonesia’ and directed the gamelan ensemble.

PROJECTSIn 2015, David Irving and Jenny McCallum commenced work on an ARC Discovery project, ‘Malay Music and Dance from the Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Christmas Island’ (2015-17, Principal Investigator David Irving). This project is investigating the history and current practice of Malay arts in this small community predominantly descended from Indonesian migrants.

PERFORMANCESMelbourne Community Gamelan Inc (MCG) performs musical pieces from Solo, Central Java. The group is taught by Ki Poedijono, who directed all of the MCG’s performances in 2015. Narelle Villella is president of the group. The group can be contacted by email: [email protected], through its website: www.melgamelan.com.au and on Facebook: www.facebook.com/melgamelan.

MCG performed six times in 2015:

• ‘The Final Gong’ end of semester concerts were held on 8 June and 2 November. These concerts featured MCG and University of Melbourne student groups, and were held at the Conservatorium’s Berkeley St premises, attended by more than 80 people.

• The mid-year ‘Final Gong’ concert featured two University of Melbourne student gamelan ensembles. MCG accompanied dancer Ade Suharto’s performance of Golek Manis (pictured, inset) and Adam Simmons played the shakuhachi (a Japanese flute).

• The November ‘Final Gong’ performance marked the retirement of Professor Cathy Falk, acknowledging and thanking her for her support of gamelan over the years. MCG accompanied puppeteer Helen Pausacker in a short wayang (shadow puppet) performance of Larasati. The Putra Panji Asmara gamelan ensemble also participated in ‘The Final Gong’, accompanying topeng (masked dancers) Ade Suharto (Rumyang) and Michael Ewing (Klana).

• On 4 April, the MCG Gadhon (small ensemble) played at a wedding reception in Fitzroy.

• On 19 August, MCG Gadhon played at an Independence Day reception at the Windsor Hotel, hosted by the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia.

On 30 August, MCG performed alongside Helen Pausacker in two one-hour wayang performances of Anoman Duta for school students at the Renaissance Theatre, Kew High School.

On 26 November, MCG Gadhon played at a wedding reception in St Kilda.

Putra Panji Asmara Inc (PPA) performs musical pieces from Cirebon, a region on the north coast of West Java. It focuses on music to accompany topeng. The group is led by Dr Michael Ewing from the University of Melbourne’s Asia Institute.

On 19 April, PPA accompanied Elisabeth Riharti and Helen Pausacker performing kuda kepang (a horse trance dance) at a Kartini Day celebration at Queen Victoria Market.

On 28 May, PPA provided musical accompaniment for the launch of Making Connections: People-to-People Exchange as ‘Soft Power’ Diplomacy in Australia’s Engagement with Indonesia, edited by Antje Missbach and Jemma Purdey. The launch was organised by Monash University and held at the State Library of Victoria.

PPA also participated in the November ‘Final Gong’ concert.
