Thank you to the American Institute for Indonesian Studies (AIFIS) and Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC) for my Department of State Educational and Cultural Affairs Research Grant.

I am on my way back to Indonesia to collect data in two spaces. More on that later.

Last time I posted was in 2023. I was saying goodbye to my friends and colleagues in Indonesia.

This time I am saying goodbye to my family. Sad to leave, but super excited to be on another adventure!! Good news–I will be saying Hello to the friends and colleagues I left behind in Indonesia. I hope you will stick with me over the next few weeks and see where this adventure goes.
