I am a postdoctoral researcher at Utrecht University. My work explores the discursive, practical and material aspects of sustainable development schemes through a historical, political economy, political ecology and aesthetics lens. My current research investigates articulations of cultural heritage and climate change in Indonesia and the Netherlands: the narratives/images that mediate meanings of heritage, their place in climate adaptation and mitigation, and their implications on how cultural heritage is valued, practised and governed. I am also interested in the (material) culture of finance and the entanglement between sustainable development and financialisation, particularly in Indonesia. I am a member of the History, Memory and Decolonial Futures Research Collective (https://arts.unimelb.edu.au/school-of-culture-and-communication/our-research/groups-and-resource-centre/history-memory-and-decolonial-futures). 

I hold a BA in Geography and Environmental Science; International Studies (1st Class Honours) from Monash University in Melbourne; an MA in Development Studies (Summa Cum Laude) from the Graduate Institute of International Development Studies in Geneva; and a PhD in Sustainability Studies from Utrecht University. Before joining Utrecht University, I worked for the United Nations Environment Programme in India.
