Hello world!

About Me

Biography

I am a sociocultural anthropologist and sociolegal scholar, with a JD from Yale Law School and a PhD from UCSD (I received my BA at U Penn). I specialize in questions of transitional justice, human rights, genocide, and memory. I currently work as associate professor of sociolegal studies at Ithaca College.

I have engaged in long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Timor-Leste on the politics and processes of remembrance of the Indonesian occupation from 1975-1999, and have published articles and book chapters on this research. My most recent publication on Timor-Leste focuses on ‘dark tourism’ in the country from the perspective of international visitors.

During and between my two post-graduate degrees in law and anthropology, I lived and worked in a variety of countries in the Global South, including India, Eritrea, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Guatemala, and Ghana. I worked primarily in the fields of human rights and grassroots development. During this time I also consulted for the World Bank on a project based in West Papua.

At Ithaca College, I teach interdisciplinary courses on Law and Society; Human Rights and Genocide; and Qualitative/Socio-legal Research Methods. I have previously lectured at the University of California San Diego, where my classes included: Culture; Human Rights; Humanitarian Aid; and Race and Racisms.
