Azalia Primadita Muchransyah, S.Psi., M.Si., Ph.D

Subject Content Coordinator — Film Program

PROFILE & QUALIFICATION:

Dr. Azalia Muchransyah is a filmmaker, writer, and scholar from Indonesia. She received her Ph.D. in Media Study from the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York (SUNY) in 2021. Dr. Muchransyah’s research interests revolve around the intersections of media study, film study, film production, documentary and its hybrid forms, HIV study, feminist study, and activism, specifically in Indonesia.

Her dissertation investigates alternative modes in documentary media production and distribution to highlight the paradoxes of HIV advocacy in Indonesia from the media ecology perspective. A two-time Fulbright grantee, Dr. Muchransyah received funding and support from The Gender Institute’s Isabel S. Marcus International Research Fellowship and the Mark Diamond Research Fund from The Graduate Student Association at the University at Buffalo to complete her doctorate. Her research has already begun to garner awards, including the UB Three Minute Dissertation Award.

In the past, she published a paper on the framing of the Bali Bombing in the media and co-authored two other published articles on HIV care in Indonesian prison settings. Dr. Muchransyah uses her filmmaking practice as her scholarly explorative mode and has showcased her films internationally at academic conferences, film festivals, and alternative screening venues. Her educational research and media practice continue to challenge dominant, repressive, and Eurocentric media discourses, raise awareness, and encourage media activism about HIV in Indonesia and globally.
