Social anthropologist who works on the 'politics of faith' focusing on the legal regulation of religion, religious minorities, militias, conflict management and justice in Indonesia
Telle is a social anthropologist and journalist with long-term research experience in Indonesia since 1994, spanning various aspects of religion and religious change (Islam, Hinduism), including ritual, state management of religion, religious minorities, blasphemy trials, secularism and the politics of religious freedom.
Telle's research also deals with the upsurge of ethnic and religious civilian policing groups in Indonesia since 1998, with a focus on vigilantism and the dynamic interaction between state and non-state security providers. Other areas of interest include: local justice and human rights, resource governance and infrastructure tourism development in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
Telle is a member of the editorial committee of Kritisk Etnografi - Swedish Journal of Anthropology and on the steering committee of the Norwegian Network of Asian Studies (Asianettverket). Between 2012-2016, she served as editor of Norsk Antropologisk Tidsskrift (NAT)/ the Norwegian Journal of Anthropology.
