3. Indonesian Enrichment and Research Program


About the program


The Indonesian Enrichment and Research Program (‘the Program’) gives students the opportunity to -participate alongside a Monash University Faculty of Law team in Indonesia to build capacity of university and civil society organisations (CSOs) family law legal aid clinics across Indonesia.


The Faculty of Law is working in partnership with the Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice (AIPJ), CSOs and 12 Indonesian state universities to provide free legal assistance focussing on realising the rights of Indonesians to obtaining legal identity, particularly for women who are poor, vulnerable children and people with disabilities. The university and CSOs legal aid clinics teach law students and paralegals practical legal skills so that they are able to assist justice seekers to access the district and religious courts and navigate through the system of birth/marriage registration.

Students will have the opportunity to participate in clinical legal education meetings, workshops and site visits to different organisations in Indonesia.


The Program runs for 14 days in November/December 2015 (exact dates are to be confirmed) and airfare, travel and accommodation will be paid for by the Faculty of Law.

5. Research Participants Needed for LGBTIQ Study


Would you like to participate in a research project concerning LGBTIQ, questioning and non-gender binary experiences of bullying and harassment in tertiary spaces. A new study is looking to interview undergraduate students at Monash as part of a pilot study.

The purpose of this study is to investigate who within the LGBTIQ student community experiences harassment and bullying in a tertiary setting; and determine what impacts this may have on LGBTIQ students’ access to supportive educational outcomes.

It is hoped that a greater understanding of LGBTIQ experiences of violence in university settings will allow further exploration into how such intolerance can be combatted to facilitate an increased understanding of the needs of LGBTIQ youth.

If you would like to participate by completing a questionnaire and a short one-on-one interview, contact Andrea Waling (andrea.waling@monash.edu) or James Roffee (James.Roffee@monash.edu).
