Research Interests
My first research interest, which also what I am currently working on,
is the issue of land tenure in Tana Toraja in the upland of South Sulawesi.
I just completed the first stage of the field survey in the region and
am planning to work on the results of that survey. This issue is a part
of my larger research interest in the agrarian relations in rural South
Sulawesi. To understand better of the issue, I find it useful to also conducting
a research on the political economy of commodity production (i.e. shrimp
and cocoa) in South Sulawesi, which I have been doing in the last year.
Another, and related, research interest is on local politics in South Sulawesi
with particular attention given to the aristocrat and the emerging (Islamic)
middle class.
