In celebration of its 46th Anniversary (Dies Natalis), the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP), Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU), is holding an International Guest Lecture Discussion. The event serves as part of a strategic academic series designed to expand global perspectives and deepen comparative policy analysis among students and faculty members.

The guest lecture features Assoc. Prof. Puchong Senanuch, Ph.D., from Thammasat University, Bangkok, Thailand, as the keynote speaker. He will deliver a comprehensive presentation titled "Social Protection for Vulnerable People: A Comparative Study on Ageing Policy and Practice between Thailand and Indonesia."

Event Details:

  • Date: Wednesday, October 28, 2026

  • Time: 14:00 WIB – End

  • Venue: 2nd Floor, FISIP USU Hall

The lecture will explore comparative social welfare models, demographic challenges, and policy interventions aimed at safeguarding vulnerable populations, particularly elderly demographics in Southeast Asia. Through this discussion, participants will gain valuable insights into how comparative policy research can inform effective, inclusive social protection systems in both Indonesia and Thailand.

This international forum reflects FISIP USU's ongoing commitment to enriching academic discourse, fostering international partnerships, and nurturing progressive scholars capable of addressing contemporary social challenges.

This initiative directly aligns with Sustainable Development Goals SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) by exploring robust social protection mechanisms for vulnerable groups; SDG 4 (Quality Education) through international academic exposure; and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) by cementing global academic collaboration between USU and Thammasat University.
