Call for Papers: Contemporary Islam in Indonesia and Australia

UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, through Centre for the Study of Islam and Society (PPIM), invites Indonesian alumni who studied in Australia, including short courses participants and other Australian government funded programs such as Muslim Exchange Program (MEP), Partnership in Islamic Education Scholarship Program (PIES), and Australia-Indonesia Youth Exchange Program (AIYEP) to submit a paper for consideration of inclusion in a forthcoming compendium publication with the theme ”Contemporary Islam in Indonesia and Australia”. The compendium will be launched in September 2017, coinciding with our TED-inspired presentations by prominent alumni speakers on the same topic.

The initial step is to submit by 14 July 2017 an abstract of the paper for consideration of selection by a Compendium Review Team. Further details on the abstract and paper are provided at the conclusion of this note.

Papers may address, but need not be restricted to, the main theme. Below we list some sub-themes for your consideration. Other related sub-topics from those we have listed are also acceptable.
