274 About the Author 274 About the Author Nicholas J. Long is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His first degree was in Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge, where he stayed to complete an MPhil in Social Anthropological Research and a PhD on social, cultural and political change in the Riau Islands. Having worked in Cambridge for four years, initially as a fixed-term lecturer in social anthropology and subsequently as a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow and Junior Research Fellow at St Catharine’s College, Nick joined the LSE in 2012. He has also held visiting positions at the University of Sydney, Aarhus University and STISIPOL Raja Haji. Nick’s previous publications include Southeast Asian Perspectives on Power (co-edited with Liana Chua, Joanna Cook and Lee Wilson, and published by Routledge in 2012), Sociality: New Directions (co-edited with Henrietta L. Moore, and published by Berghahn in 2013), and The Social Life of Achievement (co-edited with Henrietta L. Moore, and scheduled for release by Berghahn in November 2013), as well as numerous scholarly articles. He is currently working on two major research projects. The first of these is investigating how and why Riau Islanders’ attitudes to democracy have changed over time, while the second is examining emergent techniques for “motivating” and improving the “human resource quality” of Riau Islands youth with a view to developing more sophisticated understandings of motivated agency in the social sciences.
