Happy to announce some recent articles. How do Islamic reformists view material consumption in religion? I wrote this one with Nadirsyah Hosen:
2022, w/ Nadirsyah Hosen, ‘Freedom from Consumption: The Reformist Critique of Consumptive Islam in Indonesia’, Asian Studies Review

Dede Syarif (UIN Sunan Gunung Djati) and I have been observing and thinking about public languges that people use for group prayer in the COVID time. We think it is important to notice the domination of NU styles in public supplication:
2022 w/ Dede Syarif, ‘The Public Politics of Supplication in a Time of Disaster’, Indonesia 113, April 2022, pp. 111-124.
Big thanks to Dede and Susie Protschky, who led this project as part of her Future Fellowship. Thanks Susie!
Background
I am an anthropologist with a specialisation in the political and social meanings of Islamic practice in Indonesia. My major role at Monash is the coordination and teaching of our Indonesian Studies program.
In my research, I have chiefly focussed on the embodied routines of Islamic life in Indonesia. In my view, these are underestimated for their importance in explaining political and social life more generally. My major projects have focussed on: an intercession ritual popular in West Java; Islamic preaching and everyday life; commemoration of sub-national Islamic legacies, and; the distinctive meanings of practice in times of rapid change.
Thanks and respect to all colleagues and co-travellers: Emma Baulch, Dede Syarif, Lewis Mayo, Mokh. Fakhruroji, Hawe Setiawan, Banu Senay, Liang Choon Wang, Rus'an Nasrudin, Martin Slama, Matt Tomlinson, Ahmad Baso, Usep Abdul Matin..and all of you!
