University of Minnesota Institute for Advanced Study

In 2008, Dr. Dwyer, along with colleagues Dr. Diyah Larasati (U. Minn.), Dag Yngvesson (U. Minn.), and Degung Santikarma, received a grant from the University of Minnesota Institute for Advanced Study for a collaborative film project. This documentary film will trace the challenges facing Indonesian immigrants to Philadelphia as they navigate the post-9/11 terrain of "illegality," and negotiate conflicts within their own community.
