The School is designed as a one-week on-site short course in Malang once a year for three years, with each year focusing on a specific thematic cluster. Participants may apply to attend a given year, while the overall structure ensures conceptual continuity across the full program. 

• Year 1: Politics and Governance of Infrastructure. Explore how infrastructure shapes access, inequality, and decision-making processes across society.

• Year 2: Infrastructure Temporalities and Maintenance. Examine the life cycles of infrastructure—from construction to breakdown—and what they reveal about development, delay, and neglect.

• Year 3: People as Infrastructure. Rethink infrastructure through everyday practices, highlighting how communities create informal systems that sustain social and economic life.

Each edition of the School combines two days of field visits with four days of classroom-based activities, including lectures, seminars, and hands-on workshops. This integrated format allows participants to connect conceptual discussions with real-world observations. Participants will be encouraged to link their own research to the yearly themes, engage across disciplines, and develop new perspectives on infrastructure as both a technical system and a social phenomenon. 

The School is an opportunity to join a growing community of researchers and practitioners working on Science, Technology, and Society (STS) in Indonesia and beyond. 

Participants will: 

• Learn from leading STS and infrastructure studies scholars.

• Join interactive reading seminars on key global debates.

• Conduct hands-on fieldwork on real infrastructure cases.

• Develop research and writing skills for interdisciplinary audiences.

• Connect with an emerging STS network in Indonesia, and beyond.

By the end of the School, participants will:

• Gain a critical toolkit to study infrastructure.

• Becoming part of a growing international STS community.

Targeted output:

• Special issue on "Indonesian Infrastructures" in an Indonesian peer-reviewed journal.
