Senior Lecturer in International Relations, Binus University

Ella S. Prihatini is a lecturer in International Relations at Bina Nusantara (BINUS) University (Indonesia) and an honorary research fellow at the Centre for Muslim States and Societies (CMSS) University of Western Australia (UWA). Her PhD thesis investigates women’s parliamentary representation in Indonesia. She holds a BA in International Relations (University of Gadjah Mada/UGM, Yogyakarta) and Master of Development Practice (University of Queensland/UQ, Brisbane). Her research interests focus on women’s political participation, gender studies of Asia, young voters, and social media usage in politics. Ella published her works in Politics & Gender, Parliamentary Affairs, Contemporary Politics, and Women’s Studies International Forum. In September 2019, she was listed by The Australian newspaper as Australia’s top 40 researchers who are less than 10 years into their careers.

Her book chapter titled "Women in Politics" (Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung/KAS) examines gender inequality in political institutions, particularly in Asian countries. In an upcoming book chapter (Routledge), she explains the progress of women's substantive representation in Indonesian national parliament (DPR) following the fall of Suharto's authoritarianism regime.

Currently, Ella is working on political dynasties in parliament, gender and ambassadorial appointment, digital diplomacy, as well as a variety of other projects. Her research used different methods, including qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), elite interview, focus group discussion (FGD), media tracking, social network analysis (SNA), and survey.
