Fadhilah Primandari and M. Ammar Hidayahtulloh reflect on the Indonesian government’s response to Sumatra's calamitous floods in November 2025. They argue that when authorities gaslight disaster victims into believing they can handle the consequences, they merely prolong and delegitimise victims’ suffering
Postdoctoral Researcher, Radboud University Nijmegen
Ammar is a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for International Conflict Analysis & Management (CICAM).
He obtained his PhD in political science from the University of Queensland (UQ), Australia in 2025.
His research focus broadly falls under the field of gender politics, including women’s political activism and participation, the intersection of gender and Islam, gender, peace and security, and gender policymaking.
He has a strong interest in progressing feminist institutionalism as an analytical framework and a methodology, using Southeast Asia as a site for knowledge production.
Throughout his research journey, he has worked closely with women's rights and feminist organisations in Indonesia and Timor Leste.
Ammar has published his research in the aforementioned areas both independently and collaboratively, in peer-reviewed journals, including Journal of Contemporary Asia, Revista UNISCI, and Jurnal Hubungan Internasional.
He has also contributed to public debate by writing short analyses and commentaries on online media platforms, such as Indonesia at Melbourne, The Conversation Indonesia, and ASEAN Notes.
