Since 2019, Bukan Rumpi Tapi Diskusi has changed to Monash Indonesian Seminar Series (MISS). MISS is a collaboration between Monash University Library and Monash Herb Feith Indonesian Engagement Centre. This free event is open to alumni, staff, students, and the public.
Go to Monash Herb Feith Indonesian Engagement Centre website to see more information about the programs, presenters, and how to be included in the participant mailing list.
Bukan Rumpi Tapi Diskusi (BRTD) is a discussion series aimed to leverage Monash library Indonesian collections and expertise to engage not only with audiences inside the University, but also with the wider community. BRTD is held four times year at Matheson Library.
The following video captures some of the highlights from the latest Bukan Rumpi Tapi Diskusi where the fim Pengantin was premiered on 28 June 2018 at the Sir Louis Matheson Library.
