Constance Pâris de Bollardière joined the George and Irina Schaeffer Center for the Study of Genocide, Human Rights, and Conflict Prevention in 2016 and became the Assistant Director of the Center in 2021.
Her research pertains to the social and cultural history of Holocaust survivors. Since her PhD, she has been studying the reconstruction and migration of Yiddish-speaking Holocaust survivors in early postwar France, with a special focus on the connections they maintained with others centers of the "Yiddish diaspora", particularly with New York City.
Since 2017, she has also been developing a cultural analysis of survivors' testimonial productions in various contexts, from early publications in Yiddish to more recent collections of video interviews.
