Galit Sarfaty is a Research Fellow at the Center. She holds a JD from Yale Law School and an AB summa cum laude from Harvard College. She is completing her PhD in Anthropology at the University of Chicago. Ms. Sarfaty expands the focus of the Center’s work by bringing a public interest and human rights dimension to its research agenda.
During her tenure as a Research Fellow, she will be writing up her ethnographic research on human rights at the World Bank based on field work conducted at the institution over a four year period. She also will begin a comparative analysis of the organizational cultures of public and private international institutions, focusing on the role of lawyers in furthering ethical norms. These research projects fit within the Program’s goals of examining the global transformation of the legal profession and the ethical problems confronting it.
