Wahyu Binarti, M.Sc.

Prospective Lecturer in Development Communication and Social Research Methods

Bekasi, Indonesia

Bio

I recently completed my Master of Science in Development Counseling and Communication at Gadjah Mada University, after first studying sustainable agricultural extension.

I keep coming back to questions about how people make decisions, how local knowledge shapes those choices, and how research can stay close to the communities it talks about. My thesis focused on Javanese Pitungan culture and its relationship to Good Agricultural Practices in rice farming in Bekasi Regency.

I want to keep teaching, writing, and doing research in areas like social statistics, mixed-methods research, agricultural extension, and community-based development.
