Dr Jemma Purdey’s New Talking Indonesia Podcast: ‘Online Feminism’

Dr Jemma Purdey is the co-host of the Talking Indonesia podcast. The new instalment, ‘Online Feminism’, is now available:

“In Talking Indonesia this week, we continue our recent conversation on the state of women’s activism amid growing religious conservatism, and explore the ways in which issues important to women, including sexuality and religion, are being shared and communicated beyond the conventional media. What is the state of the mediascape in Indonesia today? How has digital media created spaces for a diversity of views written by and for Indonesians? What does an Indonesian ‘feminist’ publication look like?” – Indonesia at Melbourne
