[Bio c. 2017]
Lee Douglas is a doctoral candidate in Sociocultural Anthropology and a graduate of the Culture & Media Program at New York University. She holds an MSc in Visual Anthropology from Oxford University. Her research focuses on the intersection of forensic science, archival practice, and photographic documentation during the excavation of mass graves and the identification of remains in post-Franco Spain. Paying close attention to engagements with forensic evidence, her research considers what the entanglement between science, documentary practice, and visual representation reveals about the production and mobilization of knowledge in times of economic austerity and political change.
Originally trained as a photographer, Douglas is committed to re-thinking visual storytelling as a mode of collaboration that can visibilize experiences with political violence. She is a contributor to the exhibition and publication Human Rights/Copy Rights: Visual Archives in the Age of Declassification (Museum of Contemporary Art-Chile); a co-curator of Artless Photographs, a multi-media exhibit showcased at the 2012 FotoFocus Photography Biennial; the co-producer of the e-book Chile from Within published by Susan Meiselas; and the co-director and of What Remains. She is the Visual Essays Editor of Anthropology Now and a founding member of the Madrid-based visual anthropology collectives MateriaPrimaLAB and SplitScreen.
