BIOGRAPHY
Dewi Candraningrum is a researcher specialising in postcolonial fiction, literature pedagogy, and gender studies, with a strong focus on intersectionality, ecology, and decolonial ecofeminist approaches. She is the Lead Editor of the Ekofeminisme book series and serves as Chief Editor of Salasika, a feminist academic journal under ASWGI (Asosiasi Studi Wanita dan Gender Indonesia). Dewi is also the founder of Jejer Wadon (Womb Document), a grassroots initiative in Central Java that supports rural women’s environmental resistance through collective care, feminist pedagogy, and memory activism. Her academic and community work focuses on documenting ecological violence, gendered trauma, and grassroots resistance as forms of embodied memory and political refusal. With a commitment to feminist ethics and justice-based scholarship, she bridges activism and pedagogy through both research and practice. In her leisure time, Dewi engages in visual artivism through painting, often collaborating with her son, Ivan Ufuq Isfahan, who lives with intellectual disability. Their joint exhibitions advocate for inclusive care and function as visual memory documents—archiving injustice, nurturing healing, and embodying intergenerational resilience.
