Research

My works discuss the dialectical interplay between global and local human rights at the levels of norms, discourses, and practices, specifically in relation to market liberalisation and democratisation. More generally, my research interests include political agency, legal pluralism, and socio-economic equality. Recently I have written a number of articles attempting to situate agricultural modernisation in Papua in the context of global human rights struggles, and am currently working on the subject of consensus and dissensus on human rights in ASEAN.
