Claudio Lomnitz's Lab Examines the Social, Political, and Economic Consequences of Disappearance (Columbia News)

Columbia News featured a lab supported by the Center in an April 11 story, "A New Lab Examines the Social, Political, and Economic Consequences of Disappearance."

The  Social Study of Disappearance Lab was launched in 2023 by Claudio Lomnitz, chair of the Department of Anthropology and the Campbell Family Professor of Anthropology. The lab is a program within the Department of Anthropology. Columbia partners include Incite, the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy, and the Center for Political Economy.

The lab has received funding since 2023 from the Center's Faculty Grant program. Lomnitz presented an update of the lab's work during the Center's spring showcase in February.
