Hasriadi Masalam

Hello!

I’m Hasriadi Masalam, a.k.a. Ary. I have been working on issues of rural education, youth as changemakers, rural transformation, capacity building, and knowledge management for almost two decades now.

I hold a Ph.D. in the sociology of adult education and development from the University of Alberta, Canada, and a master degree from SIT Graduate Institute, VT, USA. I am a co-founder of ININNAWA, a federation of popular social action NGOs based in South Sulawesi, working on rural transformation, traditional market revitalization, literacy and education, and publication on local culture. I have also contributed to more than a dozen publications distributed in Indonesia, Europe, and North America. I am the con-founder and director of KITA, Indonesian Partnership for Humanity and Sustainability, an NGO established by the Cohort 5 of Indonesian alumni of the Ford Foundation International Fellowship Program.

I see myself as a people connector in the professional sphere as well as in personal life. I can describe my hobby as getting to know people and connect them to others who shared the passion for creating greater good for the underserved social groups.
