Nada Ragheb is a B.A. student, majoring in Political Science at the University of Innsbruck. Her research emphasizes political communication primarily, but occasionally it deals with global governance challenges, crisis responses of governments (i.e. the response to and negotiations on the Euro crisis), as well as challenges to the systems of representative democracies more generally. For her forthcoming Bachelor thesis, she’s analysing the Hearings held by the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission using both a qualitative content analysis and quantitative text analysis. The aim is to identify differences in rhetoric between victims and appointed officials of the Commission to fill the empirical gap in the research on matters of Transitional Justice.
