Deakin University, in collaboration with the European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Universitas Indonesia, and Universitas Gadjah Mada, is organizing “The International Conference: Populisms, Digital Technologies, and the 2024 Elections in Indonesia.” This event, scheduled shortly after the simultaneous multi-level elections in February, will be hosted by the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalization (ADI), providing a crucial platform to explore various aspects and dynamics of populism in Indonesia. The conference’s scope extends beyond electoral outcomes to encompass the intricate interplay between populism, digital technologies, artificial intelligence, disinformation, religion, collective emotions, and socio-political factors that shape Indonesia’s democratic discourse.
Over the course of two intense days, the conference will feature comprehensive discussions spanning 31 papers organized into eight thought-provoking panels. These panels will address distinct facets of Indonesia’s populisms, ranging from Gender and Youth to Populist Strategy and Communication, and from the complexities of Sharp Power, Disinformation, and Cancel Culture to the nuances of Authoritarianism and Islamist Populism. The diversity of topics underscores the breadth and depth of issues that this conference endeavors to explore.
In addition to paper presentations, the conference will also host two distinguished keynote speakers: Professor Simon Tormey, a renowned authority on populism theory with over a decade of scholarly contribution, and Professor Vedi Hadiz, a seasoned scholar specializing in Islamic populism within the Indonesian context. Their insights will enrich understanding and stimulate critical dialogue throughout and after the conference.
The timely conference is made possible thanks to the generous funding provided by the Australian Research Council (ARC), the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalization (ADI), and the European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS).

On Tuesday, February 7 2024, the UIN Salatiga Postgraduate Program carried out benchmarking at UIN Yogyakarta and FISIPOL UGM. On this occasion, UIN Salatiga was given the opportunity to learn and share related to institutional management, development of study and scientific programs as well as programs and study institutions that have been developed in work units. The benchmarking activity was led by the Director, Prof MIftahuddin, M.Ag and Deputy Director, Noor Malihah, Ph.D. and accepted by Prof. Dr. H. Ahmad Mustaqim as director of UIN SUKA and Ahmad Muttaqin, Ph.D.
Ahmad Rafiq, Ph.D as Head of the Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Doctoral Study Program explained that currently all linear study programs have returned to faculties and the only unique study programs are IIS and SI so that these 2 study programs are managed and developed into several concentrations. Furthermore, according to Dr. Nina Mariani Noor as head of the Masters study program explained that of course it takes a lot of effort to develop this concentration. IIS as a modification of the ongoing scholarship program development implemented by the Ministry of Religion and CIDA and MORA in 2003, at that time provided full scholarships to INA students by inviting professors from McGill University Canada and providing the opportunity to study there. However, this stopped in year 3 and in in the next years after UIN Yogya opened up opportunities to develop the IIS study program across disciplines such as social work, gender, disability and inclusion. Of course, acceleration from IAIN to UIN and its management must be followed by institutional development at the study program level and this is what UIN Salatiga will observe, imitate and modify.
Next, the benchmarking continued at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences UGM. This activity was led directly by the Deputy Chancellor for General Administration, Planning and Finance, Prof. Asfa Widiyanto said that it is hoped that this activity will provide new insights for post-UIN Salatiga students, especially regarding the development of study centers. This activity was received by the Dean Dr. Wawan Mas’udi directly. On this occasion, Deputy Dean for Research and Community Service, Cooperation and Alumni Fina Itriyati, Ph.D said that there were several programs developed by FISIPOL UGM as well as collaboration in research and offering quality partnerships. Later, these partnerships in the education sector can be implemented directly and integrated into MBKM activities, for example student exchanges and/or joint lectures or joint conferences. This will certainly be welcomed by UIN Salatiga postgraduate students in the future in a clearer and more measurable format.
It is hoped that the insights resulting from this knowledge sharing can become a reflection in planning institutional development programs. (Mami)
