Aryo Danusiri, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Indonesia, works on the keywords politics, technology, and ethics in multiple assemblages: religion, urbanity, and climate crisis. An affiliate of the Sensory Ethnography Lab, Danusiri holds a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology with Critical Media Practice from Harvard. Danusiri teaches courses on anthropological theories, technology and the public, and signs and politics, among others. Various international institutions have been supporting his projects, such as the Social Science Research Council (SSRC, USA) and the Wenner-Gren Foundation (USA), or Fulbright. He has been a co-principal investigator on "Fire Play: Understanding and Documenting Indigenous Fire Governance in Indonesia," funded by DFAT Australia.

Aryo also serves as one of the co-editors for the Knowhow in a Shifting World edited volume of the HAB Methodologies book series, originally brought about through his connection to IIAS as a former postdoctoral fellow. This edited volume discusses the question of knowhow, not only as an epistemic question of knowledge production but also, as overt, and or covert, process(es) of transmission and learning, in different contexts, and to address, methodologically, the prevailing binary between knowhow and knowledge.
