Personal profile

Research Statement

My research interests centre responses to periods of violence and atrocity, including international criminal law and other transitional justice mechanisms. I am particularly interested in responses to sexual and gender based violence and the destruction of the environment.

Current research projects:

GCRF British Academy, 'Locating Human Dignity in Cambodia'. This two-year project (2021-2022) explores how the foundational human rights concept of 'human dignity' is translated, conceptualised and used in the Cambodian context.

AHRC-GCRF Follow on Funding for Impact award "Elephant conservation and indigenous experiences in Cambodia: Shaping environmental awareness through participatory filmmaking with young people".  

Past research projects:

GCRF ‘Restoring Cultural Property and Communities after Conflict, examined the destruction of the Cham group’s cultural heritage during the Khmer Rouge regime. 

GCRF ‘Whose Voices are Heard?’  explored representations of victimhood within sites of dark tourism in Cambodia.
