معرفی
Christiane Wilke is an Associate Professor in the Department of Law and Legal Studies at Carleton University, Canada. She holds a Ph.D. from The New School for Social Research. Her research focuses on international law's role in armed conflicts, particularly examining how militaries and human rights organizations assess civilian casualties in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria through a critical lens of imperial hierarchies and technologized warfare. Supported by a SSHRC Insight Grant (2020–2025), her work integrates Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) and critical law & technology studies.
- Education: M.A. and Ph.D. from The New School for Social Research
- Research Interests: International law, armed conflict & technologies; law, visuality, and knowledge; critical histories of international law; decolonizing international law; transitional justice
Wilke teaches courses on socio-legal approaches to international law, transitional justice, and legal theory. She actively supervises graduate students in areas such as law and visuality, decolonizing legal frameworks, and international criminal law. Her scholarship bridges legal theory with empirical analysis, addressing themes like civilian casualty quantification, NATO air strike adjudication, and the Nuremberg trials' legacy.
Her grants and research emphasize interdisciplinary methods, including studies on sensory law, visual jurisprudence, and the intersections of law with technology and memory. Wilke's work contributes to rethinking international law's complicity in violence and its potential for equity in post-conflict settings.
