About Marcus

Professor Marcus Mietzner is Professor of Political and Social Change and Head of the Department of Political and Social Change in the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs at the Australian National University. His engagement with Indonesian politics dates back to his first visit to Jakarta in 1986 as a teenager. He obtained an MA from Goethe University Frankfurt in the mid-1990s, spending a year in Ambon collecting material for his thesis on the rebellion of the South Moluccan Republic in 1950. Mietzner then moved to the Australian National University to pursue a PhD on the Indonesian military, which he completed in 2005. During his doctoral fieldwork, he worked for USAID in Jakarta for more than seven years. He returned to full-time academia, commencing as a lecturer at the ANU in 2008 and progressing to associate professor and subsequently to his current position as professor.
