This panel adopts the single-session panel format (one convener, four presenters, and a discussant) to facilitate a sustained and comparative discussion on feminist autoethnography as a method for narrating cross-border educational mobility and identity transformation among Muslim women scholars. The panel structure allows each presentation to address a distinct dimension: embodied knowledge, digital resilience, collective authorship, and transnational feminism, while remaining connected through shared methodological and ethical questions.
The panel’s format is designed to encourage dialogue across diverse academic and regional contexts. Presenters are affiliated with universities in Indonesia and Singapore, while the discussant is based in the Netherlands. Their research spans field sites across Asia, Europe, Australia, and North America, mirroring the transnational trajectories explored in the papers. This diversity ensures that the discussion is not limited to one institutional or regional framework but instead reflects a multi-sited feminist conversation about knowledge production, migration, and belonging.
Each presenter will deliver a concise 10–12-minute paper, followed by reflections from the discussant and an open discussion with the audience. The format emphasizes interactive engagement rather than the delivery of finalized results. Participants will explore how feminist autoethnography serves as both testimony and theory, foregrounding how women scholars write themselves into global academic spaces shaped by racialized, gendered, and religious hierarchies.
