SUMMARY:Negotiating the Nexus: Religious Authority, Gender Politics, and State Power in Contemporary Southeast Asia
LOCATION:Classroom NT-104
DESCRIPTION:The rising tide of religious conservatism and the simultaneous 
 strengthening of feminist and LGBTQ+ movements have created a dynamic and o
 ften contentious political landscape across Southeast Asia. This panel inve
 stigates how these forces interact, examining the ways in which religious a
 uthority is mobilized to shape gender norms, public policy, and national id
 entity, and how gendered actors, in turn, navigate, resist, or co-opt these
  forces.\nMoving beyond simplistic narratives of secularism versus religios
 ity, the panel explores the intricate “negotiations” that occur
  at the nexus of religion, gender, and the state. Papers will present groun
 ded case studies from South East Asian nations. Topics include the politica
 l deployment of “morality” in electoral politics, the impact of
  conservative movements on legal systems and family law, and the strategic 
 agency of women and sexual minorities in asserting their rights within thes
 e constrained spaces. By adopting a comparative regional framework, this pa
 nel aims to illuminate both the unique configurations of power in each cont
 ext and the broader, transnational patterns shaping the future of citizensh
 ip and rights in Southeast Asia.
