  • Storying Female Academics' Career Development in Indonesian Islamic

    Storying Female Academics' Career Development in Indonesian Islamic

    Storying female academics’ career development in Indonesian Islamic higher education: A postcolonial feminist analysis Siti Muflichah Bachelor of Art in Islamic Studies (Arabic and Literature) Master of Art in Islamic Studies (Islamic Education) Master of Education (Leadership and Management) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2019 School of Education Abstract Indonesian female academics have achieved positions of repute and prestige in certain departments, however many more have remained in the background or on the periphery, marginalized by discriminatory practices that are penetrative and unacknowledged. The position of women as professional and academic staff in the faculty in which I am currently working are rarely positioned in the role of Associate Professor or above. Academic women are less productive in terms of research and publications, and they hold a lower academic rank. In leadership positions, the women experience a slow climb up the administrative career ladder. This study focuses on the experiences of female academics in the context of Islamic Indonesian higher education, and explores their experiences of career development. Postcolonial feminism, a theoretical lens which acknowledges the diversity of women’s experiences in contexts outside the West, is used in this study to critique the stories female academics have to share in relation to their opportunities for career development. As this study draws upon feminist and postcolonial perspectives, narrative inquiry is explored as a useful methodology for storying the diversity of lived experiences as valid sources of knowledge amongst female academics in this context. Nine female academics have been asked to tell their story regarding promotion at an Islamic Indonesian university.

  • Gender Interests in Two Indonesian Women's Organizations 1

    Gender Interests in Two Indonesian Women's Organizations 1

    IBU OR THE BEAST: Gender Interests in Two Indonesian Women's Organizations1 Saskia Wieringa Introduction Oneof the most stimulating attempts to develop a theoreticalframe- work for the analysis of women's organizations is that of Maxine Molyneux, whomakes the distinction between organization for practi- cal and strategic gender interests. Part of the attraction of the distinction is that it promises to be a tool in efforts to assess the performance ofwomen's organizations. However, these concepts are widely, andgenerally uncritically, used in discussions which deal with 'women and development' issues, particularly in relation to women's organizations in the South. I havevarious analytical and conceptual problemswith the concepts of practical and strategic gender interests. Inthe space of this article, I willnot be able to spe llthese out in detail. InsteadI willuse the example of two mass organizations of Indonesian womento focus on some of the ambiguities in these concepts. Molyneux has suggested that it might be useful to differentiate betweenwomen's strategic andwomen's practicalgender interests in assessingthe 'success' of certain policies regarding women ,specifically addressingthe performance of the socia liststate ofNicaragua. Strategic gender interests she defines as being 'derived from the analysis of women's subordination and from the formulation of an alternative, more satisfactoryset of arrangements to thosewhich exist'. Practical gender interests, on the other hand, 'are generally a response to an immediateperceived need and they do notgenerally entail a strategic goal such as women's emancipation or gender equality' (Molyneux, 1985:240). I will address myselfhere to the conceptualization ofthe term 'practicalge nderinterests' .Iwill arguethat th ecriticaldistinction in FeministRe viewNo41 ,Summer1992 Palgrave Macmillan Journals is collaborating with JSTOR to digitize, preserve, and extend access to Feminist Review.

  • Islamic Feminist Activism in Indonesia: Muslim Women's Paths

    Islamic Feminist Activism in Indonesia: Muslim Women's Paths

    Dayana Parvanova Islamic Feminist Activism in Indonesia: Muslim Women’s Paths to Empowerment In the late 20th and early 21st centuries Indonesia’s Islamic field has experienced a profound transformation reminiscent of the first decades of the 20th century that marked the beginning of a conscious response by Indonesian Muslims to global flows originating mainly in Europe and the Middle East. Back then the two major Islamic organizations, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama, struggled to reach out and encompass the majority of the Indonesian population and promote Islamic religious ideas and values. Today, these organizations effectively include and represent the voices of Muslim women who actively work toward the promotion and integration of women’s rights into all spheres of public life. By the end of the 20th century, Islamic renewal and reinterpretation together with the introduction of feminist and democratic ideas has become a major concern for Muslim women activists. Competing paradigms, including human rights, gender equality, Islamic principles, and feminist ideas, have shaped the debate on women’s social position and empowerment in Indonesia. Numerous organizations dedicate their ambition and aspiration to the promotion and advocacy of women’s rights. At the same time, Indonesia’s women’s movements have to navigate shifting alliances on local, regional, national and international levels in their attempt to build a solid basis of knowledge, skills and argumentation in order to increase their political influence and social authority. In the following essay I will relate to issues such as women’s rights, women’s empowerment, gender equality and justice within the Indonesian Islamic context.

Based on traditional notions of womanhood, these duties were used by the Indonesian State to restrict women's activities to the private sphere, that is, the family and domesticity. Linked with the Five Duties was kodrat wanita (women's destiny), an unofficial code of conduct, loosely based on biological determinism. Kodrat wanita became a benchmark by which women were measured during this period, and to a large extent this code is still valid today. In this thesis, I have analyzed female characters in Indonesian literature with specific identities that are on the periphery of this dominant discourse.
