Scholarly Research: 

Extensive Publications and Collaborative Interdisciplinary Projects

Social science research is not only an intellectual pursuit, but it is a critical tool for understanding and addressing the complex social issues that affect our world.

Throughout my career, I have engaged in extensive scholarly activities, including publishing articles and book chapters, presenting papers at conferences, and serving as a reviewer for several academic journals. I have also received numerous awards and grants for my research, which has focused on a diverse range of topics, from information disorders and media literacy to environmental remediation technologies.

My research has been published in prestigious academic journals, and I have contributed to several edited volumes on cutting-edge topics in my field. I have also authored books and monographs that are widely recognized as seminal works in my areas of expertise.

Ongoing research projects

I am excited to commence the writing of a new book manuscript this summer (2023) that will address the issue of ethnoreligious hate speech in Southeast Asia. At present, I am actively seeking sponsors and financial support from interested think tanks and universities to support the development of this important work.
