Emilio Crenzel is Researcher at the National Council of Scientific Research (CONICET) and Professor of Sociology (University of Buenos Aires, Argentina). He has authored papers about transitional justice, human rights, and social memories of the political violence and dictatorship in Argentina. He has also published in journals in Europe, Canada, Israel, Brazil, United States and Mexico.
"The production and effects of the Argentine Nunca Más report, well-known events in recent Latin American history, have been hardly analyzed with such thoroughness. Crenzel brings politics back to our understanding of human rights and showing the array of actors and ideas involved in the crafting and later interpretation of this landmark in the history of global human rights movements. In addition, he masters the cultural and sociological implications of these processes." – Vania Markarian, Columbia University
