The Department of Anthropology is proud and delighted to announce the addition of two new lecturers who will strengthen academic activities, research, and community service within the study program. The presence of these two lecturers is expected to make a significant contribution to the development of anthropology and improve the quality of learning for students.
Both lecturers have academic backgrounds and research experience relevant to the field of anthropology. With their expertise, they are expected to enrich scientific perspectives, encourage research collaboration, and bring innovative learning approaches to the classroom.
The first lecturer to join is Dr. Des Christy, S.Ant., M.A., a PhD graduate from Radboud University Nijmegen with a dissertation titled “Navigating Shifting Tides: The Sociality of Fishing in North Shields, UK, in the face of the EU Common Fisheries Policy” and has participated in a postdoctoral researcher program at the Nijmegen School of Management. Her areas of interest include maritime anthropology, environmental governance, urban sustainability, and ethnography in Europe. Second, Michael Haryo Bagus Raditya, M.A., who is currently completing his studies in the Doctoral Program at the Asia Institute, Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. His research interests include dangdut, popular music studies, ethnomusicology, performing arts, performance studies, contemporary dance, anthropology of art, and Asian cultural studies.
The addition of these lecturers is part of efforts to strengthen the academic capacity of the study program. Hopefully, their presence can provide new energy for scientific development, improve the quality of education, and expand research and cooperation networks. In addition, students are also expected to take advantage of this opportunity to learn from the experience and expertise of the new lecturers, whether through lectures, research activities, or academic discussions. With the addition of these two new lecturers, the Anthropology Study Program is optimistic that it can continue to grow and make a broader contribution to the development of science and understanding of social and cultural dynamics in society.
