Electrifying Indonesia: Technology and Social Justice in National Development

This book talk recounts electrification efforts in Indonesia since it was still a Dutch colony in the late nineteenth century until the late 1990's when the long-reining New Order regime (1966-1998) collapsed in the country. Electricity, politics, social justice, nation-building, and national development were all entangled in the attempts to illuminate the archipelagic nation. 

Speaker
Anto Mohsin (Northwestern University in Qatar)

In Person (NYUAD Campus) and on Zoom (NEW)

In collaboration with the NYUAD Global Asia Initiative
