About
I joined Sheffield Hallam University in 2017. Before this I lectured in Sociology and International Relations at Oxford Brookes University where I completed my PhD which critically explored the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation's (NATO) engagement with the Women, Peace and Security agenda. Findings from this research have been published in the journals Critical Military Studies, Global Society and the International Feminist Journal of Politics as well as in chapters in the Palgrave International Handbook of Gender and the Military and the edited volume, War and Women Across Continents: Autobiographical and Biographical Experiences (Berghahn Books).
I am the Course Leader for the MA International Relations and Global Crises.
My wider area of research interests include Feminist International Relations;, Sexualities, Gender, War and Militarism; Gendered Leadership and International Summitry.
