Ani Widyani Soetjipto (born 28 June 1961) is an Indonesian international relations academic and researcher. She is currently the University of Indonesia (UI) Professor of Gender and Human Rights in International Relations since 21 December 2024. She was previously the chair of the international relations department of the university from 1996 to 1999.

Early life and education

Ani was born in Jakarta on 28 June 1961 as the son of Soetjipto Wirosardjono, former deputy chief of the central statistical bureau, and Muryati. Upon completing high school at the Budi Utomo High School [id], Ani studied politics at the University of Indonesia and graduated in 1985. She then pursued further studies in the United States and received her master's degree in international studies from the University of Washington in 1989. She received her doctorate degree in international relations from the Padjadjaran University in 2017. Her classmates at the Padjajaran University included former President of the United Nations Security Council Dian Triansyah Djani and the current Deputy Minister of National Development Planning Febrian Alphyanto Ruddyard.

Fall of Suharto

Ani began her career as a lecturer in the international relations department in 1989, with a focus on East Asia studies. In 1996, Ani became the chair of the international relations department at the university, serving in the position until 1999. During this time, Ani was actively involved in the movement to topple President Suharto and led UI lecturers who were involved in the movement. On 2 May 1998, the lecturers issued a statement of concern, which was read out by Ani. In the statement, the lecturers criticized "the confusion of government policies, the passing of responsibilities, and statements that confuse the public, friendly countries, and international markets" which "worsened the impact of the monetary crisis".

On 1 May, two of Suharto's minister, Hartono and Alwi Dahlan, stated that the reformation process would be done gradually after 2003 and through parliamentary processes. When the press reported their statements as such, the ministers revoked their statement and claimed that the press has misquoted them. Ani criticized their blaming of the press and claimed that the statement had reduced the credibility of the government in public.

Academic career

Aside from teaching at the international relations department, Ani also taught woman and politics at UI's woman studies postgraduate major. She was also the Project Coordinator of Convention Watch Working Group (CWWG), a convention observer group established under the major, from 1995 to 2001, and a senior researcher at the Center of Political Studies under the politics department of UI. Outside the university, Ani was a board member of the Centre for Electoral Reform (CENTRO) since 1999, the Indonesian Women's Caring Movement since 2003, and the Women's Voice Empowerment Movement since 2004.
