Conference on “Precarity and Sustainability: Society and Ecology in Indonesia” – Day 1
INDONESIA STUDIES PROGRAMME AND INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES, NATIONAL RESEARCH AND INNOVATION AGENCY, JAKARTA, INDONESIA
About the Conference
The issue of precarity has long been a focal point in academic and activist discourse, especially in the aftermath of global crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and recent conflicts. In Indonesia, the severity of recurrent environmental crises, including forest and land fires, floods, and landslides, has intensified in recent years, affecting various segments of the community. The repercussions of these environmental crises extend beyond immediate humanitarian concerns, impacting broader issues such as food security, economic stability, and social cohesion.
The conference on “Precarity and Sustainability: Society and Ecology in Indonesia” seeks to explore the complex interplay between societal vulnerabilities and ecological fragilities within the Indonesian context. By examining the intersecting forces of capitalism, environmental degradation, and social injustice, participants will delve into the root causes of precarity while exploring pathways toward a more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient future for Indonesia.
This event is co-organized by the Indonesia Studies Programme at ISEAS–Yusof Ishak Institute (ISEAS), Singapore, and the Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities (IPSH), National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Indonesia.
