My work focuses on transitional justice. My research is interdisciplinary, drawing on law, criminology, anthropology and politics in particular. I am particularly interested in enforced disappearances, specifically in relation to victim mobilisation, the involvement of non-state armed groups in ‘disappearing’ and efforts to recover the ‘disappeared’. I am also interested in efforts to deal with the past in Northern Ireland, the environmental impacts of conflict and transition, and the relationship between transitional justice and so-called ‘dark tourism’.
