Albidri B. Albi, M.H.I., of the University's Office of the Vice Chancellor for International Affairs (OVCIA), is set to present his research at an international academic workshop at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, on October 19โ23, 2026.
His abstract, titled โBorder Displacement and Peacebuilding: The Case of Filipino Deportees in Conflict-Affected Communities in Malaysia,โ has been accepted for presentation at the writing and academic capacity-building workshop, Inclusivity for Post-Conflict Issues and Areas, organized by UGM's Faculty of Cultural Sciences.
The workshop is organized in collaboration with and supported by partner institutions and organizations, including the Association for Asian Studies (AAS), Michigan, USA; Cultivating the Humanities and Social Sciences & Supporting Under-Represented Scholars of Asia; the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), Sweden; and the Asia Research Centre, Universitas Indonesia (UI), Indonesia.
The workshop will bring together scholars working on conflict and post-conflict issues, offering opportunities for academic writing, expert mentoring, peer review, publication guidance, and international academic networking.
Albi serves under the International Mobility, Partnership and Linkages unit of OVCIA and is also a Guest Lecturer in the Bachelor of Science in International Relations program of MSU TCTO. His research interests include international relations, border and migration studies, peacebuilding, human security, and conflict-affected communities.
Aside from the workshop, Albi is scheduled to undertake institutional engagements with Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) on October 26โ27, 2026, in support of MSU TCTO's internationalization and academic partnership initiatives.
The engagements will include discussions on the proposed MSU Law Global Horizons Program, particularly the student exchange initiative involving the MSU TCTO College of Law, as well as a proposed double-degree program with UMY's Department of Government Affairs and Administration.
Through these academic engagements, MSU TCTO seeks to strengthen international research collaboration, expand opportunities for student mobility, and explore academic partnerships with higher education institutions in Indonesia.
