Summary :
English :
Fuji is an Assistant Professor of Sociology specializing in the Sociology of Ethnicity at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Indonesia. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from UGM (2012) and a Master’s degree in Anthropology and Development Studies from Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands (2015). Since 2018, he has been engaged in teaching and academic supervision at UGM, including mentoring an undergraduate student from SOAS University of London (2023). He is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Interreligious Studies at the Indonesian Consortium for Religious Studies, a collaborative program of UGM, Sunan Kalijaga Islamic State University, and Duta Wacana Christian University (2023–present). His doctoral research, supervised within the Psychology Faculty of UGM, develops a rigorous examination of mental health within transcultural health sociology, focusing on the intersection of Javanese ethnicity and Buddhist religion and spirituality. His scholarly formation is reinforced by overseas ethnographic experiences across Madagascar, India, the Netherlands, Timor Leste, and the Indochina region, advancing an intersectional approach at the interface of Ethnicity, Interreligious Studies and Sociology of Health. His Madagascar ethnography has been featured in Indonesian national media between 2015 and 2020, including Kompas Sains, CNN Indonesia, Kumparan, Good News From Indonesia, and Geonusantara. In addition, He has established international research collaborations with Radboud University Nijmegen (the Netherlands), Opole University (Poland), National University of Singapore (Singapore), Johns Hopkins University (United States), and the Karolinska Institute (Sweden).
He has published internationally with Springer through Pastoral Psychology, Palgrave Macmillan, ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, LabCom – Universidade da Beira Interior (Portugal), Thai Population Association, and the National Library Board of Singapore. His academic trajectory includes participation in workshops at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore (2024, 2025), contribution to a post symposium volume with ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, Singapore (2022), and receipt of the Lee Khong Chian Fellowship at the National Library Board of Singapore (2017–2018). He serves as a peer reviewer for Ethnography & Education and the International Journal of Adolescence & Youth published by Taylor & Francis. He has presented at international conferences and symposia across the Netherlands, Japan, Australia, Vietnam, Singapore, and the Philippines. He is also the author of the award winning Javanese novel Kadang Suriname Sanak Merapi (2017), widely used in Indonesian scholarship for its critical ethnohistorical engagement with Dutch postcolonial entanglements, including family reunification (2015) covered by CNN Indonesia.
In parallel, he is professionally engaged in advocacy, applied research, and legal drafting for regional legislative institutions, positioning him as a national government and NGO policy consultant, and serves as an international consultant to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, the United Nations Development Programme, Rutgers, The Asia Foundation, ICLD Swedish International Centre for Local Democracy, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, USAID, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, among others. His broader commitments include social service as a volunteer counselor and interfaith meditation mentor (since 2023), participation in the global Javanese Diaspora Network under the patronage of HRH Prince Wironegoro of the Yogyakarta Palace (since 2016), and his role as Founder of the Golong Gilig Wellness Collective (since 2017).

Penelitian doktoralnya, di bawah supervisi Fakultas Psikologi UGM, mengembangkan kajian mengenai kesehatan mental dalam sosiologi kesehatan transkultural, dengan fokus pada irisan antara etnisitas Jawa serta agama dan spiritualitas dalam Buddhisme. Formasi akademiknya diperkuat melalui penelitian etnografis di Madagaskar, India, Belanda, Timor Leste, dan kawasan Indochina, yang memperdalam pendekatan interseksional pada Etnisitas, Studi Antar Agama dan Sosiologi Kesehatan. Etnografi yang dilakukannya di Madagaskar telah diliput oleh media massa nasional Indonesia pada rentang tahun 2015 hingga 2020, termasuk Kompas Sains, CNN Indonesia, Kumparan, Good News From Indonesia, dan Geonusantara. Selain itu, Ia telah menjalin kolaborasi riset internasional dengan Radboud University Nijmegen (Belanda), Opole University (Polandia), National University of Singapore (Singapura), Johns Hopkins University (Amerika Serikat), serta Karolinska Institute (Swedia).
Ia telah mempublikasikan karya ilmiah secara internasional melalui Springer (melalui Pastoral Psychology), Palgrave Macmillan, ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, LabCom – Universidade da Beira Interior (Portugal), Thai Population Association, serta National Library Board of Singapore. Jejak akademiknya mencakup partisipasi dalam workshop di Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore (2024, 2025), kontribusi dalam buku pascasimposium bersama ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, Singapore (2022), serta penerimaan Lee Khong Chian Fellowship di National Library Board of Singapore (2017–2018). Ia juga berperan sebagai mitra bestari untuk jurnal internasional seperti Ethnography and Education dan International Journal of Adolescence and Youth yang diterbitkan oleh Taylor & Francis, serta telah mempresentasikan karyanya dalam konferensi dan simposium internasional di Belanda, Jepang, Australia, Vietnam, Singapura, dan Filipina. Selain itu, ia merupakan penulis novel Jawa pemenang penghargaan Kadang Suriname Sanak Merapi (2017), yang banyak digunakan dalam kajian akademik di Indonesia dan menghadirkan analisis etnohistoris kritis tentang keterjeratan pascakolonial Belanda, termasuk isu reunifikasi keluarga (2015) yang diliput oleh CNN Indonesia.
Secara paralel, ia terlibat secara profesional dalam advokasi, riset terapan, dan perumusan naskah hukum bagi lembaga legislatif daerah, yang menempatkannya sebagai konsultan kebijakan pemerintah dan NGO di tingkat nasional, serta berperan sebagai konsultan internasional untuk Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, United Nations Development Programme, Rutgers, The Asia Foundation, ICLD Swedish International Centre for Local Democracy, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, USAID, serta Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, dan lembaga internasional lainnya.
