Luciana Storelli - Castr
International Relations (PhD)
Bio
Luciana’s research agenda focuses on how states emerging from civil conflict in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America reckon with a legacy of mass human rights violations. The transitional justice questions that motivate Luciana’s research concern prospects for reconciliation in societies where trust has been fractured, whether to pursue retributive or restorative justice mechanisms, and best practices for implementing institutional reforms. She holds an MA in African Peace and Conflict Studies from the University of Bradford, an MA in Ethics, Peace, and Global Affairs from American University, and a BA in Political Science and Philosophy from Colorado State University.
