My research interests include minority rights and group identity issues; international criminal law, particularly genocide and war crimes; and comparative religion, especially issues with regard to Islam. My interests intersect philosophy, law, and politics. Currently, I am putting together an anthology GLOBAL INJUSTICES ON TRIAL, completing a book MINORITIES AND DIFFERENCE, finishing one on JUSTICE AND GENOCIDE, and writing a courtroom version of THE TRIAL OF JESUS. I also have a number of projects relating to the time I just spent in Malaysia.
I prefer students who do not require constant direction and who are genuinely enthusiastic about the issues. Organization, efficiency, and dependability would help greatly. Knowledge of world politics and legal research skills would be assets.
