I am a practitioner and researcher with an interest in humanitarian protection, human rights and transitional justice. For the last decade I have combined academic research with a consulting practice focusing on evaluation and programme support with international agencies, including the UN and NGOs, with an emphasis on states emerging from conflict and viole<\/span>nce. I am\u00a0a Senior Research Fellow at the <\/span>Centre for Applied Human Rights<\/a> at the University of York and an Associate Editor of the Journal of Disappearance\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Studies<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

My consulting work has sought to provide policy and programmatic support to a range of humanitarian and human rights related programming, including extensive engagement with monitoring and evaluation, and in particular of protection and rule of law. I have a long association with the International\u00a0 Committee of the Red Cross and until recently was Research Advisor to the Red Cross Red Crescent Missing Persons Centre<\/a>, hosted by the ICRC<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

My academic work is driven by a desire to put the needs of victims of conflict at the heart of efforts to address its legacies, and this has led to my engaging with victim-centred and therapeutic approaches to histories of violence. My research has focused on addressing legacies of violence after conflict, taking a critical perspective on transitional justice and a focus on emancipatory approaches driven by victims. I have tried to drive my research through innovative participatory approaches that see knowledge production and activism as inseparable. I have worked extensively on the issue of persons disappeared and missing in armed conflict, as well as dead and missing migrants at the EU’s southern border. I have broad experience in multiple contexts in Africa and Asia.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
