Title of Research:   "Angels in Hell: Argentina's Willing Altruists"
    January 2006

    I conducted field research in Argentina in 2003 for five months and I spent the rest of 2003, 2004 and the first part of 2005 analyzing the data and writing up my dissertation. I successfully defended my dissertation on July 2005. My project is entitled : "Angels in Hell: A study of Argentine rescuers during the political killings of 1976-1983". I am currently working on publishing some articles from this project and the whole manuscript as a book. I have moved to Sydney, Australia and I am currently working as a Research Associate at the Australian Graduate School of Management studying in particular the field of social networks.
