Ward Keeler is an American anthropologist who conducted fieldwork in Java in Indonesia during the New Order area.

Contents

He worked in predominately Surakarta cultural areas, and studied wayang as a means of understanding specific manifestation of Javanese ways of thinking.

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.

More recently he has studied Burmese culture
