Eve Zucker’s research focuses on the aftermath of mass violence in Cambodia through the lenses of social memory, morality, the imagination, trust and everyday practices. She received her PhD in anthropology from the London School of Economics and her MA in cultural anthropology from the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

She has conducted extensive research in Cambodia (2001-2003, 2010) on the topics of memory, morality, and recovery from war and genocide.
