This article aims to open up debate on the policy implications of ageing sexualities. The article begins by discussing the heteronormative perspective that frames current discourse on older people's needs and citizenship. It then presents data from an empirical study to highlight the concerns that older lesbians and gay men have about housing, health and social service provision, work and job security, and relationship recognition. The article illustrates how the heterosexual assumption that informs policy making can limit the development of effective strategies for supporting older lesbians and gay men; and raises broader questions about policy making, social inclusion and citizenship.

  This paper explores one of the leading Islamic educational institutions and its roles in the dissemination of the Qur’an and community development in an urban setting in Indonesia. The rising trend of the program of the memorization of the Qur’an (taḥfīẓ) has attracted young Muslim generations. This empirical study finds that the PPPA Daarul Qur’an develops an Islamic institution that focuses mainly on the production of the Qur’an memorizers and the dissemination of this program throughout the country. With the large support from broader Muslim community and international networking, the institution is now a home for thousand students coming from across the country. In addition to regular study of the Qur’an, the institution also run charity programs that target the poor to offer easy access to Islamic education. By incorporating education and social service, the PPPA plays important roles not only in enhancing Islamic education but also in developing Muslim community.
