Click here World's Music Day and Indonesia's increasing COVID-19 infectionsOn Tuesday this week, we celebrate World's Music Day by publishing an article on research about music in Indonesia. Marzanna Poplawska of the University of Warsaw in Poland writes an article based on her recent research in the central part of Java and the island of Flores, in eastern Indonesia to see how young Christians also played traditional music in their religious services, rejecting assumptions that only the old generation played the traditional music. This week, we also publish an article analysing the need of involving women's participation in the development of green energy to ensure a just and successful energy transition. In the past week, Indonesia has also seen a steady increase of COVID-19 cases fuelled by the spread of the highly contagious Omicron sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5. Please send your pitch here if you are interested in writing on COVID-19 in Indonesia.
