Tania Li
I am a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Toronto. My research concerns land, labour, capitalism, development, politics and indigeneity with a particular focus on Indonesia. I aim to bring my research into dialogue with scholars in multiple fields (eg geography, planning, law, environmental studies) and with activists and policy makers who are curious about how their interventions work out on the ground.
