Andi Herawati completed her Ph.D. at Indiana University, Bloomington. As a member of the Bugis nation of Indonesia, her work explores the intersections of Islamic and indigenous cosmologies, with a central commitment to learning and developing her Native Bugis language and knowledge through the close study of its manuscripts. Her research traces concepts of imagination (khayāl) through the works of Ibn 'Arabi and their resonances in the living traditions of Indonesia. Her recent work uncovers dynamic networks of meaning, focusing on the creative transmission of religious knowledge in Bugis manuscripts as well as ritual landscapes.
