Timothy Ravis

Ph.D. Student, Development Sociology, Department of Global Development

Research focus

My research focuses on the technological mediation of state, society, and nature; the political ecology of geomatics; and the history and geography of Indonesian development. I want to help, in some small way, heal the relationship between society and nature. This may involve, in part, challenging their historical and epistemological division. What might social science be without an outside?
