The CRC mourns the loss of Dr. Elke Grawert

With great sadness, we announce the death of our colleague and friend Dr. Elke Grawert. Elke passed away on 5 March, at the age of 62.

As a principal investigator in the CRC’s project “Violent Futures,” Elke played an invaluable role in the theoretical and empirical work of the CRC. We will remember her as an open-minded and easy-going colleague, a highly committed scholar, and a friend. We will miss her.

An obituary written by Conrad Schetter has been published on the website of the Bonn International Center of Conversion. Click here to read the obituary.
