I am a senior lecturer in International Relations and Politics and the Associate Dean for Research & Enterprise at the School of Law and Social Sciences.
I obtained my PhD from the University of St Andrews on 'the securitisation of Islam in the United States' and have published a number of articles and a book on this topic.
My research and teaching interests are situated broadly in Critical Security Studies. I would be interested to supervise PhD research on:
- The War on Terror, securitisation of Islam
- Emotions, race and gender in global politics
- Gender and foreign policy, Feminist Foreign Policy
My current research is about the concept and practice of 'feminist foreign policy' and in particular, the French version of this framework, 'French feminist diplomacy'. I am interested, from a gender/feminist perspective, in challenging the 'levels of analysis' in IR and bring forward the domestic/local context (French gender politics) when analysing French feminist diplomacy.
I am currently co-editing a book on 'Feminist policymaking in Turbulent Times', a critical study of various gender-sensitive projects around the world in three areas of policy (economy, security and foreign policy), with Hannah Partis-Jennings, which is a collaboration with policy-makers, activists and INGOs. This will be published with Routledge at the end of 2023.
I am also interested in the emotion and visual Turns in international relations, in particular the affective and visual responses of solidarity to victims of terrorism such as ‘Je suis Charlie’, ‘Peace’ and ‘I heart MCR’. I have published an article on this in the Journal of International Political Theory.
My previous work was situated in Critical Security Studies, in particular the Copenhagen School's Securitisation Theory. I have published a book on the 'securitisation of Islam post-9/11' in which I explore how elite speakers like the President of the United States, the police and the intelligence community in the US construct (linguistically) the threat of terrorism and revert to covert forms of racism to securitise minorities. This book was nominated for the L.H.M. Ling Outstanding First Book Prize. I have also published a number of articles on the notion of 'remote securitisation' and the use of euphemisms and technostrategic language by the intelligence community.
