The research is planned to be carried out while being based at a local NGO or CSO. This way, the students will get an insight into the organisation of civil society in different social contexts and with different agendas. Many of these organisations have a long history and support either specific interest groups (e.g. farmers or fishermen, or women’s associations) or work for a common goal (e.g. recycling plastic waste, cultural activities and tourism). Due to their wide-spread presence and influence, they regulate political, economic, social and cultural life, especially in rural communities and neighbourhood areas in the cities.
The foci of research will depend on the characteristics and goals of the respective organisations. Together with their Indonesian counterparts, the students will choose the appropriate research methods and adapt them to the individual circumstances.
Field school and research period: 1 – 26 May 2023
The participants will organise individually their travel to and from Yogyakarta. Estimated costs: approx. EUR 2.000. Financial support by the University of Vienna: 40% (of travel, accommodation, visa, insurance, museum entries etc. – excluding food!)
