💥The 43rd Indonesia Update is coming up (18-19 September) which will explore Islamic diversity in 🇮🇩 delivered by the ANU Indonesia Project. Excited to see our previous AII Chair will share his unique insights and expertise through the keynote address 📖

The Australian National University Australia-Indonesia Muslim Exchange Program Deakin University The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Canberra Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

How Islamic is Indonesia?

The answer might seem obvious. With the world’s largest Muslim population and consistently high levels of religiosity, Indonesia is often regarded as a deeply Islamic country. Yet, a closer look at Indonesian politics, economy and culture gives reason to question the extent, or at least the nature, of Islam’s influence..

Join Greg Fealy as he argues for the centrality of Islam as an identity marker for Indonesia, while also contending that religious life remains diffuse and more loosely tethered to orthodox practices than much contemporary scholarship holds.

📅 18–19 September 2026
