SEA Talk

SEA Talk is a monthly discussion forum that discusses historical, social, political, economic, cultural, technological and human rights issues in Southeast Asia. In each discussion, this forum brought in academics who had been doing research in Southeast Asia. Some academics who have come to present their research at SEA Talk include communication experts Hermin Indah Wahyuni and economist Rimawan Pradityo from Gadjah Mada University, to political and government experts Ronnie Hatley from Washington State University and anthropologist Judith Schlehe from Freiburg Universität.

The variety of topics discussed in SEA Talk is a manifestation of our goal to distribute knowledge to the general public. Therefore, a monthly discussion forum at SEA Talk is held free of charge. With the free discussion forum that has various topics and scientific perspectives, we hope that the general public can be better prepared to face the complexity of life in the future, especially those related to the existence of Indonesia as a community of Southeast Asian countries.
