Past Field Work TopicsThe
following is a list of reports which have been produced as a part of the ACICIS
Field Study option in Malang, East Java. These reports are not 'academic theses'
in the usual sense of the term. Their emphasis is on empirical field work, that
is, the collecting of information by the student using their Indonesian language
skills, rather than seeking any particular theoretical break-throughs. But they
are often a rich resource of field material, which could well be of interest to
a wider readership. Some
of these reports are available here by clicking on the report title. Copyright
is held by the author of each report. The reports cannot be republished, reprinted,
or reproduced in any format without the permission of the author. The views expressed
in each report are those of the author of the report and do not represent the
views of ACICIS.
If
you are interested in a particular report and it is not available online, please
contact the Secretariat acicis@murdoch.edu.au,
as we may be able to assist you.
