Dr. Wilke's research examines how people deal with massive violence, and specifically how they talk about violence in legal categories. Her main project investigates how criminal trials for state repression in Argentina and Germany helped to create certain imaginaries of perpetrators and responsibility, of law and legality, and of suffering and victimhood.
In past years, Dr. Wilke has taught courses on international law and violence at the 4th year undergraduate and graduate level. She also teaches LAWS 3908 Approaches to Legal Studies II with a focus on human rights in South Africa.
