Biography

Sofie Budhoo Bjerregaard is a PhD student and research fellow at Aarhus University, where she focuses on the role of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in local contexts, particularly through her research project titled 'Access Justice Project' (AJP) in Northern Uganda. This project investigates the effects of the ICC and its outreach on local social dynamics and long-term sustainable peace. The AJP, initiated in 2017, provides unprecedented access and involvement of local communities in ICC court proceedings. Sofie's research aims to explore the increased expectations for reparations among victims, the management of local tensions, and the overall perception of the ICC in the Odek community, where her ethnographic study reveals nuanced understandings of justice and social dynamics. In addition to her research, she has held various teaching and organizational roles, including work as a facilitator at the Moesgaard Museum and has participated in diverse academic activities and conferences related to anthropology and justice.
