Short presentation
I am finishing my dissertation on male supremacy, misogyny and misogynistic incel violence. My research interests include critical security studies and feminist theory as well as the stories told about violence and processes of securitisation. I also think and write about theories of 'protection' within IR, sex and sexualities within international politics, and critical military studies.
I teach International Politics, Gender and Economic Development, as well as Methods on the Master level.
