The REPAIR project studies empirically how reparations payments are justified, made and received around the world. Our research team consists of the principal investigator (PI) , a PhD candidate, a postdoctoral researcher, a junior researcher (this could be you!), and an administrative assistant.
Together, we will ask: * When and how reparations are established, paid and received in international development settings.
The project uses mixed methods to answer these questions. On the qualitative side, we ask people in three in-depth case studies how they justify reparations claims and payments, what kind of harm they think can or cannot be repaired and what meanings they ascribe to money.
We also investigate which reparations programmes reach their stated goals, and how they challenge existing logics of international aid and investment. On the quantitative side we establish and analyse an open-access dataset of the largest reparations payments around the world from World War II until today. The project is funded by a Starting Grant from the European Research Council. The postdoctoral position is embedded in the research group .
