Workshop of Interest to scholars in Europe, the US and Asia working in communications, anthropology, social sciences, asian studies, Religious studies, and Islamic studies. Conference co-organized by IIAS (the Netherlands) and an Indonesian University (IAIN Makassar)
Workshop on the voluntary travel of Bugis Muslims (for this specific workshop, we include Buginese, Makassarese, Mandarese, and Torajanese) in the Malay-Indonesian archipelago and their contribution to Islamic dissemination; and to explore how Islamic teachings are spread through institutions, organizations, or religious learning clubs.
Central questions:
- Why did the Bugis (Muslims) leave their land of birth/origin?
- How do Bugis (Muslims) mobilize themselves and struggle to be accepted in their new land?
- How are Islamic teachings propagated by Bugis people (internally and externally)?
While historical analysis is valuable, reference should also be made within the framework of Islamic education (formal and informal) in the 20th century the Malay-Indonesian archipelago
