Caroline Fournet is Professor of Law at Exeter Law School. Her research builds upon her cross-expertise in international criminal law and human rights law as well as her inter-disciplinary expertise (law, forensic sciences, criminology) to analyse genocide and other international crimes. From 2012 to 2016, she was co-investigator on the ERC-funded multi-disciplinary research programme \u2018Corpses of Genocide and Mass Violence<\/a>\u2019, led by social anthropologist Elisabeth Anstett and Holocaust historian Jean-Marc Dreyfus. Together, they created Human Remains and Violence: An Interdisciplinary Journal<\/em><\/a> <\/em>(Manchester University Press). Caroline\u2019s research on genocide and atrocity crimes took an interdisciplinary turn to explore the dual use of forensic evidence in the investigation and prosecution of atrocity crimes and in the identification of victims and the building of post-atrocity memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is currently working with Professor Mark A. Drumbl (Washington and Lee University, USA) on the aesthetics of atrocity prosecutions. Together, they published a blogtext<\/a> on the aesthetics of the barely alive on trial at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia. They also edited a special issue of the International Criminal Law Review <\/em>on \u2018The Visualities and Aesthetics of Prosecuting Aged Defendants\u2019as well as Sights, Sounds, and Sensibilities of Atrocity Prosecutions<\/em>, a volume that unlocks the look, sound, smell, taste, and feel of justice for massive human rights abuses and in which they co-wrote a chapter on the prosecution of Oskar Gr\u00f6ning, the \u2018bookkeeper of Auschwitz\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
