Anna is currently Minerva - Post Doc Fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem affiliated to the SICSA. She is working on a project on the Vietnam War Crimes Tribunals initiated by Bertrand Russell in 1966.  Her focus is the intellectual and political milieu of the Tribunal and its meaning for the formation of a transnational left.
