George Ernest Morrison Lectures in Ethnology

The George Ernest Morrison Lecture series was founded by Chinese residents in Australia and others in honour of the late Dr G. E. Morrison, a native of Geelong, Victoria, Australia. The objects of the foundation of the Lectureship were to commemorate for all time the memory of a great Australian who rendered valuable services to China, and to improve cultural relations between China and Australia.

Each year, a senior Sinologist delivers a major paper as part of the series.

Narayanan Lectures

The Narayanan Lectures honour India's immediate past-President Dr K R Narayanan. Each year this oration has been delivered by a major public figure.

The Sadli Lecture Series in Economic Policy

The aim of the lecture series is to broaden understanding and stimulate debate among students, academics and policy makers of the key economic policy challenges faced by Indonesia, drawing on the experience of neighbouring countries. It is named in honour of probably Indonesia's most influential commentator on economic affairs over the past 40 years, Professor Mohammad Sadli.
