The COVID-19 pandemic doesn’t just have a short-term impact. Learning from the pandemics that humans have faced, the COVID-19 pandemic can have a long-term impact. The psychological impact of the Middle-east Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) pandemic can continue to be felt in the future (Park et al., 2020). In the SARS Pandemic, the age group experiencing the pandemic had a higher risk of suicide and the risk of developing mental health problems than the age group that did not experience the SARS outbreak (Tzeng et al., 2020). Psychological impacts and mental health problems due to the pandemic include anxiety, emotional disturbances, and grief (DepPierro et al., 2020).

In regard to the urgency of disability research in terms of the psychological aspects of life span development and contextual factors in multicultural settings, as well as measuring the experience of Gadjah Mada University through the Faculty of Psychology, especially in the field of developmental studies throughout the life span, CLSD would like to fill this gap by collaborating with national and international experts on disability studies through the Interdisciplinary Online Summer Course entitled “Developing context and partnerships to produce knowledge in research human development across a disability-inclusive life span in a multicultural setting: Indonesian and Global Perspectives (MILENIALS)”. The theme of this course is also in line with UGM’s ideology and efforts to become an inclusive campus for people with disabilities which has been started in 2017. This course, in particular, provides a model to strengthen the mainstreaming of disability discourse in the Tridharma of Higher Education activities which can become UGM’s scientific excellence in the International level.

MMAT 2021 Summer Course Program

Southeast Asia is not a mere geographical space with a passive role in the international arena. Instead, the region has continued to be an active agent to engage in the international political discourse that covers the political, economic, social, and cultural dynamics, as well as, security issues. The image of Southeast Asia as an actor that is capable of becoming an agent, is reflected in the political decision taken by the leaders of Southeast Asian countries to define and to present themselves as one single community, which is the ASEAN Community. Ironically, the level of interest and the number of studies conducted by academics regarding Southeast Asia is less developed inside the region.
