Draft:Sarah Gensburger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sarah Gensburger (born November 4th, 1976) is a French sociologist that specializes in the social dynamics of memory.[1] She is a Senior Researcher in Social Sciences at the French National Center for Scientific Research.[2] Her focus is in memory and the way it interacts with national policymaking and the transformation of the state through individual action. In addition, her work draws focus on memory and citizen engagement from the past to present and future decision making[1]. She was educated at various French institutions[2].

Gensburger has published articles in French, English, German, Polish, and Spanish.[3] Her publications include Beyond Memory. Can we really learn from the past? (2020), National Policy, Global Memory. The Commemoration of the Righteous among the Nations from Jerusalem to Paris (2016), Witnessing the Robbing of Jews, a Photographic Album, Paris 1940-1944 (2015), Nazi Labor Camps in Paris (2013 paperback, 2011 hardcover), among others.[2] She is currently a visiting professor at New York University. [4]

Among Gensburger’s most notable awards include the Auschwitz Foundation Special Prize for best dissertation and the French Political Science Association Prize for Best Dissertation (2007), the Dapim. Best Article Award (2013), and the CNRS Bronze Medal (2019). [2]

Gensburger is also an avid historian of the Holocaust with a focus on Paris’ anti-Semetic persecutions post World War II. She studies this data on the mico-historical scale.[1] After the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, there was a lot of diversity in how citizens expressed memory and remembrance. Gensburger and her colleague studied the reactions while collecting ethnographic data on their tributes. [5]
