Herring Hall, Room 100
Rice University

Nelson is an award-winning teacher who began fieldwork in Guatemala in
1985, exploring the impact of civil war on highland indigenous
communities with a focus on the more than 100,000 people made into
refugees and 200,000 people murdered in what the United Nations has
called genocidal violence. Since then her research has sought to
understand the causes and effects of this violence, including the
destruction and reconstruction of community life. She is the author
of “A Finger in the Wound: Body Politics in Quincentennial Guatemala,”
(University of California Press, 1999) and “Reckoning: The Ends of War
in Guatemala,” (Duke University Press, 2009). Nelson has also
published widely in scholarly journals, and is co-editor with Carlota
McAllister of “War By Other Means: Aftermath in Post-Genocide
Guatemala” (Duke University Press, 2013). Her most recent book is
“Who Counts: The Mathematics of Death and Life after Genocide”
