    Systemic Silencing Activism, Memory, and Sexual Violence in Indonesia
    McGregor, KE (University of Wisconsin Pres, 2023-08-29)
    The system of prostitution imposed and enforced by the Japanese military during its wartime occupation of several countries in East and Southeast Asia is today well-known and uniformly condemned. Transnational activist movements have sought to recognize and redress survivors of this World War II-era system, euphemistically known as “comfort women,” for decades, with a major wave beginning in the 1990s. However, Indonesian survivors, and even the system’s history in Indonesia to begin with, have largely been sidelined, even within the country itself. Here, Katharine E. McGregor not only untangles the history of the system during the war, but also unpacks the context surrounding the slow and faltering efforts to address it. With careful attention to the historical, social, and political conditions surrounding sexual violence in Indonesia, supported by exhaustive research and archival diligence, she uncovers a critical piece of Indonesian history and the ongoing efforts to bring it to the public eye. Critically, she establishes that the transnational part of activism surrounding victims of the system is both necessary and fraught, a complexity of geopolitics and international relationships on one hand and a question of personal networks, linguistic differences, and cultural challenges on the other.

    The Penitent State: Exposure, Mourning and the Biopolitics of National Healing
    Muldoon, P (Oxford University Press, 2023-09-21)
    This book asks a deceptively simple question: what are states actually doing when they do penance for past injustices? Why are these penitential gestures - especially the gesture of apology - becoming so ubiquitous and what implications do they carry for the way power is exercised? Drawing on the work of Schmitt, Foucault and Agamben, the book argues that there is more at stake in sovereign acts of repentance and redress than either the recognition of the victims or the legitimacy of the state. Driven, it suggests, by an interest in 'healing', such acts testify to a new biopolitical raison d'état in which the management of trauma emerges as a critical expression of attempts to regulate the life of the population. The Penitent State seeks to show that the key issue created by the 'age of apology' is not whether sovereign acts of repentance and redress are sincere or insincere, but whether the political measures licensed in the name of healing deserve to be regarded as either restorative or just.

    InternationalEd2021: Re-imagining higher education teaching and learning for sustainable internationalisation of curriculum
    Anand, P ; Li, D ; Krautloher, A ; Lui, TKB ; Leung, D (Internationalisation of Curriculum Special Interest Group, 2021)
    COVID-19 has put a spotlight on international education and highlighted the often one-sided view about it. Although there are various educators who value international education for the value it adds to creating diverse, transformative learning experiences, sadly this narrative is often hidden behind the more prominent economic benefits. This Symposium will aim to highlight the importance of internationalisation of the curriculum to develop global citizens for the 21st century. This book proceedings represents a collection of work presented at the InternationalEd2021 symposium held online on 15th October 2021. It highlights the importance of internationalisation of higher education curriculum to develop global citizens for 21st century and beyond.
