EVENING LECTURES
Evening Lectures are one of the oldest activities of IHS offering popular English-language lectures held quarterly. Since September 1973, over 500 lectures have been organised exploring Indonesia’s culture and contemporary issues, covering themes like History, Arts, Dance, Culture and Landscapes on different islands, Religion, Fauna, Food, and Social Life-together. There are topics of interest for everyone living in Indonesia whether born here or coming from abroad.
Peter Carey – Diponegoro (April 2024)
The 20 July this year marks the 200th anniversary of the outbreak of the Java War (1825-30) led by Prince Diponegoro. In his talk “Back to the Future: Reflections on the Java War Bicentennial” Oxford historian Peter Carey reflects on the meaning of this anniversary for contemporary Indonesia and the world. What can Diponegoro tell about how to retain one’s dignity and integrity while standing up against injustice and colonialism? What can this period of Javanese history tell us about the face of the future in a multi-polar world?
