" Ratagu" means" my name"
in Langalanga.
I am an anthropologist and an Associate
Research Fellow (equal to Associate Professor)
in the Institute
of Ethnology, Academia
Sinica, Taiwan.
I'm most interested in the relationships
between human and things in contemporary
and historic Oceania.
The goal of my research is to understand
and represent human complexity.
My
major field sites have been in the Langalanga Lagoon, Malaita Province,
Solomon Islands. Recently I'm crossing over to do comparative work in
the Western Caroline Islands, Micronesia.
