The Social Study of Disappearance - Incite at Columbia University

Incubated Project

The Social Study of Disappearance

The Social Study of Disappearance Lab is dedicated to the social study of forced disappearance.

This project takes a comparative perspective, with a special focus on Mexico, where disappearance continues to be a daily occurrence, and forced disappearance represents a sustained, perilous form of breakdown, both at the level of state and society.

The Lab is supported by Emily Hoffman and María Sabater at Columbia, as well as a board of prominent Mexican academics, advocates, and legal professionals.
