In the keynote address, Prof. Geoffrey Robinson of UCLA, author of The Killing Season: A History of the Indonesian Massacres, 1965-66, will present material from this new book that explores the problem of mass violence through a close examination of the anti-leftist purge that gripped Indonesia in 1965–66, killing and imprisoning millions of alleged communists.

The conference has been organized by Ben Kiernan and Eve Zucker with support from the New York Southeast Asia Network; the Schell Center for International Human Rights, Yale Law School; the Council on Southeast Asia Studies at Yale; the Genocide Studies Program at Yale; and The Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempf Memorial Fund at the MacMillan Center.
