Abstract
This article discusses the development of disability research and advocacy in Indonesia, analysing insights gathered from the process of organising the AIDRAN biennial conference. AIDRAN (Australia-Indonesia Disability Research and Advocacy Network) began organising conferences in 2017. It was designed to fostering the exchange of knowledge and experiences among disability advocates, researchers, and policy makers, mainly from Australia and Indonesia to inform policy making. This initiative aligns with the Indonesian government’s commitment to promote evidence-based research to inform policy making, as outlined in Law No. 11/2019 on the National System of Science and Technology. Analysing data from the conference, this paper highlights significant progress in research interest on disability research and growing recognition of disability as a critical social identity, alongside gender and other intersecting identities.
