Biography

Nathanael Pribady is a first-year PhD student with a research focus that spans from technofascism, Indigenous science, posthumanist education, history of violence, decolonization, to gender and sexuality. He's currently under the supervision of Dr. Miwa Aoki Takeuchi and is excited to unlearn, deconstruct, disassemble, and destabilize his ways of knowing. He received a Master of Science in Learning Analytics from Teachers College, Columbia University, and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Universitas Multimedia Nusantara. Because of his various backgrounds, Nathan is more interested in transdisciplinary research that breaks the compartmentalization of education.

Besides academia, Nathan builds various educational initiatives such as Deconstructing Indonesia and Logos ID. Both initiatives have become platforms for sharing intellectual history, philosophy, grassroots organizing, and even thousands of banned archives, including the Gerwani Encyclopedia (Gerwani was one of the biggest women's organizations in the world, which disbanded after the 1965 Indonesian genocide) and the Indonesian Women's Encyclopedia. These initiatives have been viewed hundreds of millions of times and will be expanded in the spirit of open education and the abolition of academic gatekeeping.
