Qualitative Researcher Vulnerability
Qualitative Researcher Vulnerability provides conceptual, experiential, and practical insights into the vulnerability of the qualitative researcher.

International Criminal Tribunals and Domestic Accountability
In the 1990s, the promise of justice for atrocity crimes was associated with the revival of international criminal tribunals (ICTs).

Good Victims
In Good Victims, Roxani Krystalli investigates the politics of victimhood as a feminist question. Based on in-depth engagement in Colombia over the course of a decade, Krystalli shows how victimhood becomes a pillar of reimagining the state in the wake of war, and of bringing a vision of that state into being through bureaucratic encounters. The book also sheds light on the ethical and methodological dilemmas that arise when contemplating the legacies of transitional justice mechanisms.
