Caroline Bennett is a socio-cultural anthropologist, whose work considers genocide, mass death, mass graves and human remains. Having previously worked as a forensic anthropologist in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iraq, her work considers the intersection of academic analysis with practical experience to explore issues of international interventions, human rights, and geopolitics, as well as wider questions of conflict and violence. Her current research explores mass graves from the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia, and considers post-conflict politics in Cambodia.
