decolonial feminism digital inclusion disaster management inclusive data Mount Merapi women with disabilities

Abstract Disaster risk management in Indonesia mainly relies on technocratic knowledge and seemingly neutral or universal data systems.

Rather than adopting a confrontational stance of political resistance against colonial rule, Muhammadiyah pursued cultural and educational reform to empower Muslim society. This study argues that Muhammadiyah’s educational reforms represent a form of...
