In 1932, the Dutch colonial government issued the Wilde Scholen Ordonantie to suppress independent schools it could not govern—schools it called sekolah liar, wild schools. This paper asks what it means to inherit and depart from that lineage: to build, in 2020, a feminist school that is wild not only in its anti-colonial refusal but in its rejection of the neoliberal domestication of feminism and the ongoing erasure of women's knowledge from Indonesian institutions and global knowledge production.

Sekolah Pemikiran Perempuan (SPP, the School of Women's Thought) is a trans-archipelagic feminist collective that connects women and non-binary people across Indonesia's islands through informal classes, a feminist festival, global public lectures, and collectively authored manifestos. This paper argues that decolonising the university requires not curricular diversification but what I have theorised elsewhere as a radicalised notion of María Lugones's 'learning from other resisters.' Building on that framework, I propose several dimensions of feminist decolonial pedagogy that SPP enacts: actively forging feminist linkages across paradigms rather than reproducing academic competition; attending to borders and frictions within the Global South rather than treating it as a singular category; and interrogating the very notion of resistance to decolonise what counts as feminist agency.

The paper does not celebrate SPP as a model but situates it as an experiment: unstable and unfinished. It explores what it means to decolonise the university when radical feminist pedagogy is already happening—without permissions--outside the university’s walls.
