Catherine Allerton is a specialist in the anthropology of Southeast Asia. She has conducted fieldwork in rural Manggarai, Flores, Eastern Indonesia, and more recently in the city of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, East Malaysia. Her fieldwork in Manggarai was primarily concerned with the significance of place and landscape, particularly with regard to processes of kinship and social change. She has published a number of articles and book chapters on this research, and a recent book, entitled Potent Landscapes. Her most recent, ESRC-funded, research in East Malaysia is concerned with children’s role in and experience of long-term processes of migration and citizenship.
