Event overview
In this seminar, we invite three researchers to speak about how they understand and approach absences in their research. Whilst absences are ubiquitous to social research, questions of method are especially pertinent in research exploring crime, especially perpetrated by police, military or state actors. Participants will speak about their research, followed by questions and discussion.
Participants:
Professor Lois Presser (University of Tennessee, visiting Professor at UCL Institute of Advanced Studies) pioneered narrative methodologies in criminology, exploring the role of narrative in motivating and sustaining harmful behaviours including mass harms, terrorism and interpersonal violence. She is currently working on a new book, Not Said: A Methodology.
Dr Kirsten Campbell (Goldsmiths) is a qualified barrister and feminist, socio-legal scholar whose research examines gender and law. Her current project, The gender of justice, examines the prosecution of sexual violence offences in armed conflict.
Dr Margarita Aragon (Goldsmiths) researches the historical construction and enforcement of race and its imbrication with gender and disability. She is currently writing about anti-black and anti-Mexican police and mob violence in the US-Mexico borderlands in the 1910s.
Chair: Jennifer Fleetwood (Goldsmiths).
