Specializations

Dr. Gillian Bogart is Assistant Professor of Asian Studies at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. She is an affiliate with UHM’s Center for Southeast Asian Studies and the initiative for Asian American and Pacific Islander Voices in Environmental Humanities and Environmental Justice. Her work is situated at the intersections of more-than-human ethnography, environmental humanities, and feminist science studies. Her current book project is an ethnography of shifting livelihoods and value regimes in West Timor. In it, she examines how coast dwelling fisherfolk and farmers navigate economic nationalist initiatives and contemporary modes of governance in Indonesia. Additionally, in a forthcoming, collectively authored book, she looks at maritime Southeast Asia through a landscape perspective of mud.
