Emily Schrader serves as a Program Assistant and Researcher at the Center for Human Rights and International Justice, where she focuses on archival research, metadata creation, and digital design for the Virtual Tribunals initiative. In addition to her research work for Virtual Tribunals, which focuses on how war crimes and crimes against humanity are prosecuted globally, Emily also contributes to the Center’s broader communications and outreach.

Emily graduated from Stanford University in 2024 with a B.A. in International Relations. While at Stanford, she studied how to prevent mass atrocities, seek accountability for perpetrators, and deliver justice for victims and survivors around the world. Outside of class, she conducted research on the Vietnam War with Dr. Phil Taubman at the Center for International Security and Cooperation, worked on a book about colonialism and gender with Dr. Susan Stryker at the Stanford Humanities Center, and traveled to Bosnia & Herzegovina to research atrocity prevention on a Stanford Global Studies fellowship. As an advocate for global human rights, Emily has interned with Freedom House, Reporters Without Borders, the Post-Conflict Research Center, and Amigos de las Américas. Her work is driven by a desire to thread cultural context and the (painful) lessons of history throughout future foreign policy.Add a comment
