Tim’s research looks at how efforts to transition Indonesia away from a fossil fuel-based economy transform the practice and politics of development. This multi-sited ethnography connects the policymaking spaces of Jakarta to rural zones of renewable energy development. To make these connections, he studies how state actors, development practitioners, power sector workers, scientists, activists, and local communities come together to shape the emergence of new energy landscapes, with a specific focus on geothermal energy. The evolving relationships through which this increasingly controversial resource is being developed offer a lens on the role of energy in processes of development that extend well beyond any single geothermal field or the exigencies of climate change.
