Background

About Fuadil Ulum

I work as a junior researcher at the Center for Political Studies, University of Indonesia (PUSKAPOL UI). During my tenure at PUSKAPOL UI since July 2020, I have been involved in several research and advocacy projects, collaborating with various partners, including the Indonesian Ministry of Home Affairs, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), the Partnership for Governance Reform (KEMITRAAN), USAID, IFES Indonesia, and DFAT Australia. I have a particular concern about digital technology, governance, and social justice issues. My recent work, titled "Infusing Start-Up Spirit into Indonesia’s Bureaucracy: A Critical Analysis of Indonesia’s Technological Regime in Public Service Delivery," critically discusses power dynamics, social structures, and ideologies shaping the implementation of digital government in Indonesia. The research was presented at the Lien International Conference on Good Governance at Nanyang Centre for Public Administration, NTU Singapore, in August 2023, where it received the Best Paper Award. I have authored several journal articles and op-eds discussing contemporary political issues in Indonesia, which have been published in Jurnal Politik, Kompas.id, The Conversation Indonesia, and other platforms. Additionally, at the end of 2023, collaborating with my colleagues, I published a book focusing on social justice titled "Duduk Sama Rendah, Berdiri Sama Tinggi." Currently, I am engaged in interdisciplinary research supported by the KEMITRAAN and USAID, which draws on perspectives from politics, psychology, gender studies, and public policy to conduct a comprehensive study on the linkage between gender and corruption in Indonesia.
