Welcome
The Social Study of Disappearance Lab, established in 2023, is dedicated to exploring the social, political, and economic dimensions of disappearance—ranging from forced disappearances in Mexico to migrant vanishings across the Mediterranean. We unite faculty, students, and collaborators in a collective effort to understand how these phenomena reveal shifts in state power, criminal networks, and social structures. Through interdisciplinary research, digital ethnography, and historical analysis, we seek not only to deepen academic understanding but also to inform public policy and support affected communities.
