University of Connecticut graduate student, Katharine Hawkins, with the guidance Dr. Richard A. Wilson, will undertake ethnographic research on local knowledge, perceptions, experiences, and practices after genocide and other forms of mass violence and human rights violations. The research is to be conducted in Croatia where the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) is nearing the end of its mandate to investigate and prosecute violations of human rights that occurred in the early 1990s. The researcher seeks to ascertain the degree of correspondence between local ideas of justice and international legal conceptions as articulated at the ICTY. The degree of overlap between local and international justice models has implications for the applicability of international criminal proceedings and other transitional justice methods.The ground-up perspective that this researcher will employ has heretofore been largely absent from the planning of responses and theoretical debates about nation building, healing, and justice that surround past intergroup violence. The researcher will conduct ethnographic fieldwork in a Croatian village where Serb returnees and Bosnian Croat refugees share the ongoing post-conflict difficulties of housing shortages and high unemployment rates. She will live with local families and undertake vounteer service, as well as conduct semi-structured and structured or survey interviews in 200 households. The degree of empirical variation in individuals' experiences, as victims, perpetrators, or bystanders, will add depth to social scientific analysis of the post-conflict social and political context. While previous studies have focused on the ICTY's judicial procedures and domestic compliance with its jurisdiction, this research will contribute rich, local data to the debate over how to best address human rights violations by documenting the views of those people who experienced the crimes, either as perpetrators or as victims. The researcher seek to understand how decisions made at the international level become (or do not become) meaningful in daily life. The results of this study may be used to develop improved methods for providing accountability and ending cycles of violence. The research also will contribute to the education of a graduate student.

康涅狄格大学的研究生凯瑟琳·霍金斯（Katharine Hawkins）凭借理查德·A·威尔逊（Richard A. Wilson）博士的指导，将在种族灭绝和其他形式的大规模暴力和侵犯人权的形式之后对当地知识，看法，经验和实践进行民族志研究。这项研究将在克罗地亚进行，在克罗地亚，国际前南斯拉夫（ICTY）的国际刑事法庭即将结束其调查和起诉1990年代初发生的侵犯人权行为的任务。研究人员旨在确定法国国际协会所阐明的当地正义观念与国际法律概念之间的对应程度。地方和国际司法模式之间的重叠程度对国际刑事诉讼和其他过渡司法方法的适用性产生了影响。迄今为止，该研究人员将采用的基础观点在很大程度上是由于对国家建立，康复和司法的理论辩论的规划，而过去围绕着过去的暴力群体的辩论，这一观点很大程度上没有。研究人员将在克罗地亚的一个村庄进行民族志实地调查，塞族返回者和波斯尼亚克罗地亚难民共享住房短缺和高失业率的冲突后困难。她将与当地家庭一起生活，并在200户家庭中进行半结构化和结构化或调查的访谈。 作为受害者，肇事者或旁观者，个人经验的经验差异程度将为冲突后社会和政治背景的社会科学分析提供深度。尽管以前的研究集中在国际立主持展上的司法程序和国内遵守其管辖权上，但这项研究将通过记录那些经历过犯罪者或受害者的犯罪的人的观点来为如何最好地解决人权侵犯人权的辩论提供丰富的当地数据。 研究人员试图了解国际层面做出的决策如何在日常生活中有意义（或没有变得有意义）。这项研究的结果可用于开发改进的方法来提供责任制和结束暴力周期。这项研究还将为研究生的教育做出贡献。
