My scholarly interest broadly focuses on the relationship between forests, human well-being, and sustainability in Indonesia. More specifically, my current work focuses on understanding how community forestry has contributed to environmental and social goals in Indonesia.
My research uses a combination of different methodological approaches, including impact evaluation, participatory visual methods, and mixed-methods with the aim of better accounting for diverse perspectives, values, and knowledge systems in environmental research.
