David Eichert

I am a political scientist and socio-legal scholar who studies international courts, with a primary focus on how discourse about conflict-related sexual violence is reproduced and contested in international criminal law spaces. My work builds upon poststructural, feminist, and queer IR theory to trace how prosecutors, diplomats, judges, and NGOs interpret claims of sexual violence. I am also interested in broader questions of international law, drawing from critical legal theory to examine how the colonial and gendered logics of law influence the current politics of international justice. I use any pronouns.
