INMS3613: Indonesia's Digital Transformation

2026 unit information

Taught entirely in Indonesian, this unit examines the profound impact of digital technologies on contemporary Indonesian society. Rather than viewing digitalization as a uniform process, it recognises digital transformation as a contested terrain. Students will analyse how Indonesia's evolving digital landscape is reshaping economic opportunities, social relationships, and political participation across the archipelago using case studies of the digital economy and platform labour; digital transformation in rural Indonesia; and the challenges of digital misinformation. The unit is one of six advanced units offered on a rotating basis, which can be taken in any order.
