Nancy Lee Peluso is an American rural sociologist. She is the Henry J. Vaux Distinguished Professor of Forest Policy at the University of California,Berkeley. In 2006,she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. [1]
After earning her BA from Friends World College,Peluso joined the Man and Biosphere Research Project No. 1 in Indonesia. [2] Upon her return,her main research focus was on Forest Politics and Agrarian Change in Southeast Asia. [3] In 1984,she conducted her PhD dissertation research in Java,Indonesia and later published it in a book titled Rich Forests,Poor People:Resource Control and Resistance in Java. [2]
Peluso taught at the University of California,Berkeley from 1990 to 1992 and was a Ciriacy-Wantrup Postdoctoral Fellow in Natural Resource Studies in the Energy Resource Group. In 1992,she was appointed an assistant professor of resource policy at Yale University. [2]
Peluso coined the term 'counter-mapping' in 1995,having examined the implementation of two forest mapping strategies in Kalimantan. One set of maps belonged to state forest managers,and the international financial institutions that supported them,such as the World Bank. This strategy recognised mapping as a means of protecting local claims to territory and resources to a government that had previously ignored them. [4] She returned to the University of California,Berkeley in 1996 as an associate professor in the Department of Environmental Science,Policy and Management. [5]
In 2001,Peluso published Violent Environments through the Cornell University Press with Michael Watts. [6] In 2003,she was the recipient of a Harry Frank Guggenheim Fellowship. [7] Three years later,she was the recipient of a Harry Frank Guggenheim Fellowship in order to examine territoriality,violence,and the production of landscape history in West Kalimantan,Indonesia. [8] [9]
Pelusa was awarded Berkeley's 2012 Sarlo Graduate Student Mentoring Award for Senior Faculty Award. [10] In 2015,Peluso was a Senior Fulbright Fellow in Indonesia,where she focused on illegal gold mining. She was also a co-investigator with the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and the University of Indonesia for a new National Science Foundation grant examining labor migration and its impact on land use in Indonesia. [11]
In 2017,Peluso received a National Science Foundation Geography and Spatial Sciences Program grant to study the impacts labor migration has on Indonesian land use policy and labor markets. [12] Two years later,it was announced that Peluso would become the new Chair of the Center for Southeast Asia Studies beginning in the 2020–21 academic year. [13] She was also the recipient of the Al Moumin Award in Environmental Peacebuilding. [14]

Indonesia is an archipelagic country located in Southeast Asia and Oceania,lying between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It is located in a strategic location astride or along major sea lanes connecting East Asia,South Asia and Oceania. Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world. Indonesia's various regional cultures have been shaped—although not specifically determined—by centuries of complex interactions with its physical environment.
South Kalimantan is a province of Indonesia. It is the smallest province in Kalimantan,the Indonesian territory of the island of Borneo. The provincial capital was Banjarmasin until 15 February 2022 when it was legally moved 35 kms southeast to Banjarbaru. The population of South Kalimantan was recorded at just over 3.625 million people at the 2010 Census,and at 4.07 million at the 2020 Census. The official estimate as at mid 2023 was 4,221,929. One of the five Indonesian provinces in Kalimantan,it is bordered by the Makassar Strait in the east,Central Kalimantan in the west and north,the Java Sea in the south,and East Kalimantan in the northeast. The province also includes the island of Pulau Laut,located off the eastern coast of Kalimantan,as well as other smaller offshore islands. The province is divided into 11 regencies and 2 cities. South Kalimantan is the traditional homeland of the Banjar people,although some parts of East Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan are also included in this criterion. Nevertheless,South Kalimantan,especially the former capital city Banjarmasin has always been the cultural capital of Banjarese culture. Many Banjarese have migrated to other parts of Indonesia,as well as neighbouring countries such as Singapore and Malaysia. In addition,other ethnic groups also inhabit the province,such as several groups of the Dayaks,who mostly live in the interior part of the province,as well as the Javanese,who mostly migrated from Java due to the Transmigration program which dated from the Dutch colonial era. It is one of the provinces in Indonesia that has a larger population than Mongolia.

Counter-mapping is creating maps that challenge "dominant power structures,to further seemingly progressive goals". Counter-mapping is used in multiple disciplines to reclaim colonized territory. Counter-maps are prolific in indigenous cultures,"counter-mapping may reify,reinforce,and extend settler boundaries even as it seeks to challenge dominant mapping practices;and still,counter-mapping may simultaneously create conditions of possibility for decolonial ways of representing space and place." The term came into use in the United States when Nancy Peluso used it in 1995 to describe the commissioning of maps by forest users in Kalimantan,Indonesia,to contest government maps of forest areas that undermined indigenous interests. The resultant counter-hegemonic maps strengthen forest users' resource claims. There are numerous expressions closely related to counter-mapping:ethnocartography,alternative cartography,mapping-back,counter-hegemonic mapping,deep mapping and public participatory mapping. Moreover,the terms:critical cartography,subversive cartography,bio-regional mapping,and remapping are sometimes used interchangeably with counter-mapping,but in practice encompass much more.
