About this EventCredit: Jennifer Schaefer

Between 1966 and 1983, Argentina’s military dictatorships used violence to control the population, including clandestine detention and forced disappearance. After the return to democracy, human rights groups established memorial projects and databases documenting both the disappearances and the lives of victims, including left-wing militants. Using ArcGIS, this presentation traces the movements of these militants across cities, provinces, and countries. It asks two central questions: what does geospatial analysis reveal about Cold War militancy, and what are the political and ethical stakes of analyzing memorialization projects in this way?

Before joining the UConn Library, Jennifer was a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Carleton College, a Roots of Contemporary Issues Teaching Postdoctoral Fellow at Washington State University Vancouver, and a Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan.

Jennifer is deeply committed to supporting undergraduate and graduate research and writing, especially drawing on her previous experiences working as the Education and Outreach Fellow in both the Emory Writing Center and the Woodruff Library and then as Interim Director of the Emory Writing Center.
