Kathy Foley is professor of theatre arts and editor of the Asian Theatre Journal at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and was a fellow at the ISM during the 2012–2013 academic year. She returns to Yale to work with the Yale Art Gallery’s 20,000-puppet collection of wayang (Indonesian puppets), building on both her previous work and the work of 2018–2019 ISM fellow Matthew Cohen. She is especially interested in the iconographical adaptations for specific characters in different regions of Java, and the ways ethnicity and religion may historically intertwine in relation to woodworking and Islamic craft guilds.
