My research interests relate primarily to the field of transitional justice. I am particularly interested in amnesty laws, which I have explored in multiple projects. Other recent projects include work on the role of lawyers as transitional actors, dealing with the past in Northern Ireland, socio-legal research methods related to transitional justice, and the impact of the rise of populism on human rights.
