Personal

I enjoyed traveling and testing different types of Indonesian soups. I am married with two children, and once in awhile we love spending the time in road trips. 

At the moment, I am very passionate about Scholarita project (the name was taken from one of my coauthors, Iim Halimatusa'diyah, idea) which pretty much replicating www.womenalsoknowstuff.com in the US. The objective is to create a database on female political scholars in Indonesia (and hopefully it will expand to the SE Asia region), their affiliation and expertise based on (published) research.

We intend to connect female scholars and the media, since we know that women's representation in the news coverage is only 24% worldwide and 11% in Indonesia. The database will serve as "a bridge" between female scholars and the media to improve gender equality in news coverage.

If you are interested in this initiative, please send me an email! Thank you.
