Profile

I completed my PhD in PAIS in 2020, and I'm excited to be back in the role of Teaching Fellow. Prior to my PhD, I completed an MPhil in Multi-disciplinary Gender Studies at the University of Cambridge and an MSc in International and European Politics at the University of Edinburgh.

Research Interests

My research interests include:

  • International security
  • Feminist IR theory
  • The United Nations
  • Humanitarian intervention and the Responsibility to Protect
  • Discourses of protection and vulnerability in UN policy language
  • Non-military masculinities in UN language and institutional culture

Teaching

For the 2023-24 academic year I'll be teaching PO231: International Security and PO382: Vigilant State: Understanding Secret Intelligence.
