Amina Hadziomerovic is a PhD student at the Centre of Global, Urban and Social Studies at RMIT University (Melbourne). She is engaged in ethnographic research and works with Bosnian refugees in Australia and the USA. Amina was born and raised in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where she graduated in psychology with a minor degree in visual arts and communication design at the International University of Sarajevo. Her early research appertained to the transgenerational transmission of war trauma and its impact on the post-war generation. As a social anthropologist, she explores the impact of the unresolved issue of the missing persons from the Bosnian genocide on the everyday lives and social identities of the surviving families in the diaspora. Her areas of interest are missing persons, death rituals, kinship, genocide, migration and memory studies. She also works as a research assistant at RMIT.
