Abstract

Despite extensive scholarship on female mourning practices (iḥdād), male mourning within Islamic legal and gender studies is largely overlooked, creating a significant gap in understanding how widowers manage grief culturally and religiously. This study focuses on the neglected male mourning practices in Islamic contexts and how widowers navigate their grief. Through a qualitative method involving in-depth interviews with five widowers, alongside observations and document analysis (in the form of local prayer books, memorial schedules, and religious guidance texts), the data was thematically analyzed using the Braun and Clarke framework, combined with phenomenological insights to uncover emotional and ethical patterns. The findings indicate that widowers engage in ethical negotiations—such as postponing remarriage and avoiding social gatherings—that reflect an interplay between Islamic teachings and Javanese cultural norms. This research suggests that the Qira'ah Mubādalah perspective offers a valuable interpretive framework that situates these mourning practices within a context of reciprocal ethics rooted in spirituality, which has broader implications for gender ethics in contemporary Islamic discourse.

Abstract

Religious expression among minority groups often unfolds within complex negotiations between identity, social acceptance, and cultural diversity. This study explores the dynamics of religious expression among young Muslim women in Bali within the context of sociocultural diversity and the challenges of being a minority. Bali, as a global tourism destination, has a history of Muslim communities dating back to the 14th century coexisting with the Hindu majority. The research employs a descriptive-qualitative method, utilizing participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and document analysis. Primary data were collected from young Muslim women, community leaders, and Islamic youth organizations in Bali. The results reveal that young Muslim women face significant challenges, including religious discrimination, social pressure in expressing their faith, limited access to religious education, difficulties in obtaining halal food, and religious conversion due to marital pressures. On the other hand, they utilize social media as a new space to express their religious identities. In interfaith interactions, young Muslim women demonstrate adaptability to local norms while facing tensions between religious identity and social demands. Theoretically, this research enriches the discourse on the relationship between identity, religious minorities, and religious expression in multicultural contexts such as Bali.

Abstract

Healthcare professionals, especially Indonesian women health workers in Perth, Australia, play a important role as unofficial cultural ambassadors in the diaspora. This study examines how Indonesian women in Perth's healthcare industry negotiate their identities as women, migrants, and medical professionals and demonstrate cultural values, using qualitative methodology, with social identity theory and transnational feminist as the theoretical framework. Interviews were conducted to Indonesian women healthcare workers in Perth, as the study prioritizes depth, experiential richness, and identity negotiation, consistent with exploratory qualitative and phenomenological approaches. The results demonstrate how participants build interpersonal communication and multicultural engagement by incorporating Indonesian values—such as empathy, collectivism, and cultural sensitivity—into patient care. These women exhibit perseverance that supports Indonesia’s branding in healthcare, their resilience in overcoming challenges related to language and maintain work-life balance. The findings highlight the significance of communication in shaping national identities in diverse environments and contribute to the understanding of gendered diaspora experiences.

Abstract

The continuation of land conflicts has ecological, economic, and social implications. This has motivated women survivors of conflict to organize movements. This study aims to explore the strategies, patterns, and forms of the movement and its meaning in relation to ecofeminism. This research uses qualitative methods. The results of the study show that, first, the women's movement is a reformative movement. Second, the movement's strategies involve protests and framing, mobilizing solidarity through religious activities, and environmental empowerment. These strategies affirm the value of ecofeminism in movements organized by local women. This study concludes that the movement of women survivors of land conflict reflects the ecofeminist movement, by voicing justice at the local level as well as an effort to deconstruct the legacy of agrarian colonialism, which is structurally unequal and gender biased. This study contributes to the study of ecofeminism in Indonesia by enriching the agrarian-based conceptual understanding and experiences of local women's movements.
