JAKARTA -- University of California-Berkeley has been an important center for Indonesian Studies and the home to respected scholars in the field. Prominent graduates from Indonesia include Ali Wardhana, Dorodjatun Kunjoro-Jakti, Widjojo Nitisastro and Johannes Sumarlin.

Berkeley is also one of the few universities in the U.S. that offers instruction in the Indonesian language.

The Center for Southeast Asia Studies (CSEAS) at UC Berkeley recently hosted a program entitled Interfaith Dialogue in a Plural Society: The View from Indonesia.
