He worked in predominantly Surakarta cultural areas, and studied wayang as a means of understanding specific manifestation of Javanese ways of thinking.[1]
His book Javanese, a cultural approach was a Javanese language text for English speakers that provided learners with language expressions for learning, rather than elaborate on the complexities of hierarchy within the language and culture.
