The relationship between governments and families has long been complex. There is significant variation across contexts in the extent to which and in what ways states govern what constitutes a family and the limits imposed on family activities. This doctoral dissertation research project leverages transitional justice as a way of querying how families respond to changes in governmental policies regulating their structures and functions. It complements research that attempts to understand why governments regulate kinship by focusing instead on how families respond to governmental interventions and policies. Specifically, this research contributes to social scientific theories that relate kinship to the state by focusing on the survivor families’ experiences of transitional justice procedures. In addition to supporting the training of a graduate student, the findings of this research are disseminated broadly to academic, non-academic, and stakeholder audiences.Transitional justice offers an opportunity to understand how state adjudication of past familial grievances impacts family relationships and activities. In this context, this doctoral dissertation research poses the following questions: 1) How do transitional justice courts decide which families' grievances are merited and what evidence do they muster to support decisions? 2) How are family relationships and activities affected by government decisions regarding claims of familial grievances? To answer these questions, the investigators conduct a multi-sited ethnographic study involving semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and archival analysis. In so doing, this doctoral research contributes to social science studies on the relationships between states and families by providing more nuanced theory via interrogation of these relationships in contexts marked by violence.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

长期以来，政府与家庭之间的关系一直很复杂。国家在多大程度上和以何种方式管理家庭的构成以及对家庭活动施加的限制，在不同的情况下有很大的差异。这个博士论文研究项目利用过渡司法作为查询家庭如何应对政府政策的变化，调节其结构和功能的一种方式。它补充了试图理解政府为什么通过关注家庭如何应对政府干预和政策来规范亲属关系的研究。具体而言，这项研究有助于社会科学理论，亲属关系的国家，侧重于幸存者家庭的过渡司法程序的经验。除了支持研究生的培训，这项研究的结果被广泛传播到学术，非学术，和利益相关者audience.Transitional司法提供了一个机会，了解国家判决过去的家庭冤情如何影响家庭关系和活动。在此背景下，本博士论文的研究提出了以下问题：1）过渡时期司法法院如何决定哪些家庭的不满是值得的，他们收集什么证据来支持决定？2)家庭关系和活动如何受到政府关于家庭冤情申诉的决定的影响？为了回答这些问题，研究人员进行了多地点的人种学研究，包括半结构化访谈，参与者观察和档案分析。通过对暴力背景下的国家与家庭关系进行研究，为社会科学领域的国家与家庭关系研究提供了更加细致入微的理论。该奖项体现了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
