My name is John MacDougall. I am the owner and creator of this site, course instructor, Indonesia Publications' editor, independent scholar and freelance writer. Since obtaining my doctoral degree from Harvard University, I have specialized in Southeast Asia, American society and current controversies for over 30 years, used the Internet for over 20 years, and worked in academic, government, and business settings.

Non-governmental organizations, governments, businesses, libraries and, of course, individuals are strongly encouraged to subscribe to Indonesia Publications' numerous print periodicals and use its fee services.
