Annie Pohlman is Senior Lecturer in Indonesian Studies at The School of Languages and Cultures, St Lucia campus, UQ. Her research interests include Indonesian history and politics, comparative genocide studies, torture, gendered experiences of violence, and testimony studies. She also works with human rights NGOs in Indonesia on the documentation of human rights abuses.
Indonesia faces the critical challenge of how to deal with its entrenched culture of impunity for past--and ongoing--mass atrocities and other gross human rights violations. The impact of Pohlman's research relates to her investigation and documentation of gross violations in the Indonesian past, and their ongoing practices.
