Themes
Camille Denicourt-Fauvel is a doctoral researcher at Sciences Po Paris, under the co-supervision of professors Olivier Dabène and Marie-Christine Doran. Her research interests focus on the impact of transitional justice mechanisms adopted during democratic transition processes, particularly in Chile, Brazil and Guatemala. She is particularly interested in the link between memory, the institutionalization of impunity and contemporary human rights. Before joining Sciences Po, she completed a master's (MA) in political science at the University of Ottawa, where her thesis, entitled Au-delà du chaos : l’héritage de l’impunité institutionnalisée pour expliquer l’extrême violence au Guatemala post-conflit (Beyond chaos: the legacy of institutionalized impunity to explain extreme violence in post-conflict Guatemala), focused on the link between the endemic violence in post-conflict Guatemala - exemplified by contemporary femicides - and transitional justice mechanisms adopted during the peace process. Camille holds degrees in International Development (B.Sc.Soc., Magna Cum Laude), Civil Law (LL.L, Cum Laude), International Law (LL.M) and Political Science (B. Sc. .Soc, Summa Cum Laude). A SSHRC doctoral fellow, Camille also distinguished herself at the master's level, being one of the ten Canadians to receive the prestigious Canada Graduate Scholarship in honor of Nelson Mandela in 2018.
