02/15/2011
The American Society of Comparative Law selected Associate Professor Shawn Boyne's paper "The Many Faces of Objectivity: A Look at German Sexual Assault Cases" as one of six papers discussed at the Sixth Annual Comparative Law Workshop held February 11-12, 2011 at Yale Law School. Professor Boyne uses an interdisciplinary lens to investigate the links between law, politics, and culture. Her current paper is based on a period of extensive ethnographic research in Germany in which Dr. Boyne interviewed over 100 German prosecutors and visited 15 different prosecution offices.
Shawn Boyne joined the faculty in the summer of 2008 as associate professor of law, teaching evidence, criminal law, and criminal procedure. Prior to joining IU she was a DAAD Post-doctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute of Foreign and International Criminal Law in Freiburg, Germany, as well as a graduate fellow with the Institute for Legal Studies at the University of Wisconsin Law School. She has also been a visiting fellow with the Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies.
