Research interests
My PhD research examines the everyday lives of creative workers in Indonesia, especially those working in the craft sector. I explore how they draw on skills, knowledge, resources, and many more in doing their work, and how they engage or choose not to engage with government. The project considers how intersecting inequalities shape creative work and encounters with policy.
