Made Adityanandana

Aditya is a PhD student in Development Studies in the Department of Global Development, Cornell. Aditya is originally from Bali, Indonesia. Aditya obtained his MA in Development Studies from the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS), Erasmus University Rotterdam. His master's research on an environmental conflict over a tourism development megaproject in the island of Bali has culminated into several publications, including a peer-reviewed article (Journal of Sustainable Tourism, special issue on tourism and degrowth) and a book chapter (Routledge Book Series). His research was supported by the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education. Prior to his PhD study, Aditya served as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Agriculture, Udayana University in Bali, where he taught courses including Development Communication, Human Ecology, and Political Ecology. His research is driven by interests in migration and development, sustainable agriculture and tourism, environmental conflict and movement, and the application of post-growth in the global South. His PhD dissertation project explores the nexus between migration and development, specifically examining what work looks like for the surplus populations amid unequal development and jobless growth in Indonesia. He works with Jenny Goldstein (chair), Sarah Besky, and Marina Welker. He occasionally writes opinions on agricultural issues in Indonesia in mainstream media, such as the Jakarta Post.
