research & publications
Overview
I support research that informs programming or offers a deeper understanding of the rule of law and human rights issues. I am available to provide technical and substantive input on research design and methodologies, including developing informed consent protocols, training for field enumerators, and designing and leading research projects.
Research & Publications
My research and publications cover a broad range of topics, from examining the unethical media practices in the portrayal of survivors of genocide, to examining institutionalized violence against Iraqi women and girls. My research aims to shed light on “taboo” topics, often neglected or misunderstood.
My goals is not just to contribute to academic discourse, but also to drive real world change. By shining a spotlight on taboo subjects, I strive to challenge societal norms, influence policy, and ultimately, foster a culture of understanding, empathy, and justice.
