Biography

Presidential Scholar at George Mason University, Sarah completed an MA at the American University of Paris and a degree in Intellectual History from the University of Pennsylvania. Sarah's research addresses the French train company's (SNCF) role in the WWII deportations and the ensuing U.S. conflict that exists today fueled by unhappy survivors. She worked pro-bono with the House of Representatives, looking for ways to reconcile the company’s past while continuing to serve as a productive contributor to society. Her dissertation explores this case through the larger  lens of corporate accountability for mass atrocity. She also has an avid interest in the role of language in conflict. Her blog www.languageofconflict.com considers the role of language across a variety of personal and international contexts.
