Indonesians Overseas: Historical perspectives
Friday, 10 December 2010
An ARC funded project (Dr Julia Martinez (UOW) & Prof Adrian Vickers (University of Sydney)
We invite proposals for papers on the history of Indonesians overseas. Coming out of our research on Indonesian labour migration to Australia we are looking to expand on this theme by linking up with other researchers on Indonesians in Australia and other parts of the world. We will submit selected papers for publication as an edited volume or special journal issue.
Abstracts should be sent to Dr Julia Martinez by 1 November 2010.
