Professor Louise Mallinder

My research focuses on transitional justice. I am particularly interested in how the concepts of amnesty, accountability and impunity are understood and applied within the transitional justice field. My research also explores how different actors advocate for, design and work within transitional justice mechanisms and how the nature of transitional contexts can shape the design and legitimacy of transitional justice processes. I am also interested in the use of socio-legal research methods within transitional justice research, particularly databases.
