Dissertation Title: Enregistering Democracy: Social Difference, Relationality, and Public Speaking in Eastern Indonesia
My research contributes to an interdisciplinary and inter-regional question: how do social differences underlie access to political participation through roles of speakerhood? By investigating connections between democracy and discursive participation, my dissertation addresses a current political concern in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, where practices of public speaking contribute to the vitality of civic life.
