Community-led resistances and responses to climate crises
Warga bantu warga ! Climate finance from below
Cyclone Senyar struck northern Sumatra in late November–December 2025, bringing extreme rainfall, flash floods, and severe river erosion across Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra. Thousands of homes were buried in mud or rendered uninhabitable, forcing widespread displacement and disrupting rural livelihoods. Despite the scale of destruction, the Indonesian government declined to designate the event as a national disaster, limiting access to i…

How food estate policy intensifies intergenerational trauma among Papuan women
This article examines how Indonesia’s Food Estate program reshapes the everyday lives, ecological relations, and embodied memories of Papuan women. Based on qualitative fieldwork conducted between 2021 and 2025 in Merauke, Boven Digoel, Yahukimo, and Jayapura, the study draws on interviews, participant observation, women’s gatherings, church networks, and community testimonies to explore the impacts of forest loss and land conversion. The finding…
Witnessing, Stigma, and Solidarity: Women Survivors of 1965 in the Politics of Memory in Indonesia
This study explores the experiences of women survivors of the 1965 human rights violations in Indonesia, highlighting how they navigate stigma, reconstruct memory, and assert solidarity within the politics of memory shaped by the New Order regime. Dominant historiographies of 1965 have centered largely on male perspectives, marginalizing women’s voices and erasing their experiences of sexualized and ideological violence. Drawing on oral histories…

Rasan-Rasan as Feminist Method
This article introduces rasan-rasan, a Javanese practice of informal talk or gossip, as a feminist qualitative research method. In contrast to structured interviews, rasan-rasan allows women to share narratives without the performative filtering typical in formal research encounters. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with mothers in Nguter and Kendeng, Central Java, the study demonstrates how rasan-rasan functions as a relational epistemic practi…
Extinction of experience
This study examines the pedagogical potential of Ayu Utami’s Saman in an English Language Teaching (ELT) classroom at a Muhammadiyah university in Indonesia. Drawing on the concepts of extinction of experience, ecofeminism, and feminist literary pedagogy, the study explores how literary engagement supports students’ ecological reflection through contextual teaching and learning. Using a qualitative interpretive design, data were collected from 24…

The Political Economy of Megaprojects in Asia
In recent decades, Asia has become one of the world's most dynamic sites of urban transformation. Rapid economic growth, intensified capital circulation, and state-led development strategies have g
Mahakam river stewardship amid coal mining pressures
This article examines Indigenous care ecology as a culturally grounded framework for river stewardship and environmental sustainability in the Mahakam River basin, East Kalimantan, Borneo, where coal mining expansion, forest loss, and river degradation increasingly threaten local communities. Intensive coal extraction and barge transportation along the Mahakam River have accelerated sedimentation, water pollution, biodiversity decline, and ecolog…
Mambu! Breathing protest
This article examines how environmental harm is lived, narrated, and politicized by the Mothers of Nguter, a grassroots women's movement protesting hydrogen sulfide emissions from a rayon factory in Central Java, Indonesia. Drawing on interpretive feminist ethnographic analysis of interviews, court observations, and field notes collected between 2022 and 2023, I explore how toxic exposure is articulated through an atmospheric and sensory vocabula…
The Air is Not Yours Alone
This article examines the pedagogical and political dimensions of grassroots environmental resistance led by Sarmini and women in Nguter, Sukoharjo, Central Java, responding to toxic emissions from PT RUM, a rayon factory operating since 2017. Positioned within decolonial feminist theory and Dialogical Self Theory (DST), the study addresses a gap in feminist education research by foregrounding rural women’s embodied knowledge as a site of ecologi…
Colonial echoes, national aspirations
English language teaching (ELT) in postcolonial societies is never merely a pedagogical enterprise; it is embedded in colonial histories, nationalist language planning, cultural production, and global power relations. In Indonesia, English occupies an ambivalent position. Although it was not the language of formal colonial administration, it has become the most dominant foreign language shaping educational policy, institutional prestige, academic…
Reimagining Goethe in the ELT Classroom
This study explores the intersections of divine femininity and Islamic mysticism in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust and West-östlicher Divan [West–Eastern Divan], positioning these canonical works as fertile ground for intercultural literary inquiry and postcolonial English Language Teaching (ELT). Employing hermeneutic, intertextual, and comparative literary methods, this research uncovers Goethe’s engagement with Sufi metaphysics, the Qur’an…
Negotiating Women’s Veiling
This study will focus on the Indonesian jilbab, an ubiquitous piece of cloth that covers the hair and neck of women tightly, leaving no skin unconcealed. Achievement and role of jilbab after the authoritarian regime of Soeharto in 1998 is hardly known. The author examines women perception but also the Sharia Ordinances and the narratives of censorship. Voices of both women and sexual minorities (transgenders, gays, lesbians, bisexuals and queers)…
Unquestioned Gender Lens in Contemporary Indonesian Shari‘ah-Ordinances (Perda Syariah)
Indonesian muslim participation in the democratic arena is now contested with the arrival of the decentralization process in 423 districts since 1992. The most notable movement is the quest for Islamic identity in the rejuvenation of Shari ‘ah Ordinances which is interpreted symbolically and transcripturally. These ordinances have unrecognized the importance of gender lens in its practice. Until the end of 2007 no less than 63 districts have rati…
