One highlight of the Centre’s activities in 2019 was our third Herb Feith Dialogue, and the first to be held in Indonesia, featuring H.E. Dr Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Minister of Finance, Republic of Indonesia, sharing her insightful perspective on ‘Women in Leadership’ (18/11/2019, Jakarta). The formalities of the evening began with welcome speeches from Professor Margaret Gardner (Vice-Chancellor & President of Monash University) and HE Gary Quinland (Australian Ambassador to Indonesia). Professor Ariel Heryanto (Director of the Herb Feith Centre) was the Master of Ceremony and Professor Sharon Pickering (Dean of Arts) was the moderator.
Approximately 100 attendees came from a wide variety of professions and backgrounds. In addition to selected Monash University partners and star alumni in Indonesia, a number of Indonesia’s top public figures were present, including awarding winning authors (Leila S Chudori, Ayu Utami and Dee Lestari); film industry celebrities (Mira Lesmana and Riri Reza) newly emerging politicians (Grace Natalie and Tsamara Amany); and musician (Addie MS).
