Saygun Gökarıksel's research and writing engages the themes of law, history, and politics, especially the field of transitional justice and human rights, from a critical legal and political anthropological perspective. His current research examines the legal and moral-political reckoning with the communist past in Poland and Eastern Europe more generally, with a focus on violence, archive, memory, and neoliberal and rightwing authoritarianism. His writings and commentaries have appeared in journals and forums across Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and the US.
