[Recording] Enduring Otherwise: Muslim Queer and Trans Worldmaking in Indonesia

Ferdiansyah Thajib, Senior Lecturer in the Standards of Decision-Making Across Cultures MA Program at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, discusses his new book, Enduring Otherwise: Muslim Queer and Trans Worldmaking in Indonesia (New York University Press, 2026). Drawing on ethnographic research in multiple locations in Indonesia, Enduring Otherwise examines how Muslim individuals and communities grapple with the challenges and possibilities of inhabiting queer and trans religiosity.
