Andrew Conroe

Andrew Conroe is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and the University Scholars Programme at the National University of Singapore. He received his PhD in Anthropology and History from the University of Michigan in 2012, and prior to that an MA in Southeast Asian Studies from the University of Michigan. His dissertation, entitled Generating History: Violence and the Risks of Remembering for Families of Former Political Prisoners in Post-New Order Indonesia, examines the intergenerational transmission of memories of political violence in modern Indonesia. His current research project involves a broader examination of the ways in which contested memories move between (and indeed, help to delineate) private and public realms in postcolonial Indonesia, and the role that media plays in this process.
