My research interests lie in the fields of peace and conflict studies as well as development studies. In recent years, I have mainly studied the peace process in Aceh, Indonesia, and the emergence of new political elites. Currently, I am developing a new project that will look at forced migration and internal displacement in insular Southeast Asia in a comparative perspective. In the project, I aim at understanding the impact of forced migration on host communities and the way the access and use of resources is being negotiated and organized between refugees and hosts. In my research, I follow a qualitative, actors centered approach using participant observation during extended periods of field research. I received my Master’s degree in Languages, Economics, and Southeast Asian Studies from the University of Passau, Germany, and my PhD from the Department of Anthropology at Goethe-University in Frankfurt/Main, Germany.

Giacomo Tabacco 
My research interests lie in the field of the concepts and practices of informal mining and cash crops farming, gendered work patterns, mobility, workplace hazards, spatial planning, land conflicts, and socio-ecological degradation in the Indonesian rural regions. During my PhD (2011-2016, University of Milano-Bicocca), I conducted fieldwork among artisanal gold miners and other fortune seekers in Aceh, Indonesia. I am currently working on the entanglements of welfare policies, socio-ecological vulnerability, radicalized access to land, and "slow violence" in the Acehnese region.
