She is a vice-president of the Thessaloniki based History Education Committee organized by the Center for Democracy and Reconciliation in South Eastern Europe as well as a consultant of the United Nations on the issues of misuses of history in education.

Early life and education Dubravka Stojanović was born in Belgrade in 1963 where she completed high school. She spent her childhood in Šibenik, Dalmatia, Croatia where her Croat maternal family Barbača lived. Because her work focused on the 20th-century history of Serbia she was faced with the issue of historian's neutrality and distance from the topic of her work. She also consults the United Nations on the misuses of history in education. In 2017, she has signed the Declaration on the Common Language of the Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks and Montenegrins.

Slobodan Antonić criticised her scientific conclusions about the role of the Serbian quisling forces in The Holocaust in German-occupied Serbia and considered her work on the subject to be meet the criteria of historical revisionism. Antonić criticized Stojanović's claim about prominent role local Serbian collaborationists played in Holocaust in Serbia accusing her of "revisionist" transfer of responsibility from Nazi German occupiers to the local Serbian forces.

Awards Stojanović won the Belgrade City Award for Social Sciences in 2004, the Peace Prize from the Belgrade Center for Peace and Democracy in 2011, and the French national order of merit in 2015.
