Over the past few years, I have been
conducting research into how Malaysians make use of, as well
as create, public spaces for advocacy and political
participation in the context of both authoritarianism and
politicized Islam. I have been particularly interested in
how activists creatively use and combine the realms of law
and party politics to push their agendas forward. My current
focus is on state policing of sexual morality and civil
society reactions to it. As part of this I am involved in a
research project that is examining moral policing in
Malaysia as part of a larger project organized by Women
for Women's Human Rights (WWHR) – New Ways and the
Coalition for Sexual and Bodily Rights in Muslim Societies (CSBR).
I also believe in public engagement and, in order to promote
anthropology, I edit a column called Ini Budaya Kita
(This Is Our Culture) in the Malaysian Arts and Culture
magazine, Off The Edge. In this column,
anthropologists in and of Malaysia reflect on some aspect of
Malaysian life and culture. The articles from 2008 and 2009
have been collected in the volume The Malaysian Way of
Life (see below). I am also the wine columnist for
Off The Edge.
