Expertise

My work in the field of post-Holocaust and genocide studies is informed by my background in ethics, social and political philosophy, and feminist philosophy. I have worked particularly with gender-related issues of war-time violence including mass war rape. I work on topics related to violence and the harms to political communities and rights.
