Wim Manuhutu serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Art and Culture, History, Antiquity at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam's Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, where he teaches 15 undergraduate history courses including bachelor thesis supervision.
His research centers on colonial and postcolonial Indonesian history, specializing in decolonization processes, violence during the 1945-1950 independence period, and cultural memory of colonial exile. He examines how historical narratives shape contemporary understandings of empire and nationhood in Southeast Asia.
Manuhutu's publications reveal consistent focus on Dutch-Indonesian historical reckoning, analyzing both scholarly reviews and primary sources to unpack complexities of colonial violence and commemoration practices across Asian contexts.
As a project researcher for Colonial Normativity (2019-2025), he investigates corruption frameworks and cultural difference in imperial histories while actively contributing to decolonization discourse through lectures like his 2020 presentation on Moluccan historical narratives.
