This paper aims to explain higher education initiatives in integrating Gender Equality & Social Inclusion (GESI) in education, research & community service activities. The study was conducted using focus group discussions, in-depth interview, & secondary data. GESI analysis was conducted to understand and critical reflection on GESI initiation in education & teaching, research, and community service programs. Although GESI has a strong basis in government policy but not yet an integrated part of the state policy implementation such as the National Development Plan. In line with that the higher education has not yet fully commitment to integrate GESI into management and the three higher education"s obligations (education, research, and community services). Even though the numbers are relatively small, there is a movement from the 'bottom' from the lecturers / researchers who already have a GESI perspective
This article is written based on the experience of conducting a feminist ethnographic research method for the study of Indonesian domestic workers in the UAE between 2009-2011. The study is a longitudinal study, where female migrant workers are traced from the origin to the destination in the UAE. The results of the study show many hidden issues about the deterioration of women migrant workers. Venue of their work location, in particular, becomes their fundamental problem. The policy of the destination country is also difficult to reach and intervene in case of employer-labour conflict. By using the method of circle of life, dioramas, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions, the feminist ethnographic study found the root of the problem; it has found the social, economic, legal, and policy linkages that shape the framework of migrants' deterioration. The methods of the study proved to give women migrant workers space to describe the phenomena of their migration, the actors involved in the journey, and the unclear contract framework.
