Talking Indonesia: gender transformation in rural Java

In this episode, recorded in the spirit of International Women's Day, Dr Clara Siagian chats with Dr Linda Susilowati about generational shifts in rural Javanese women's lives, the enduring weight of 'kodrat' (predetermined nature) and 'kewajiban' (obligation), and how Julia Suryakusuma's concept of State Ibuism appears in contemporary Indonesia.
