Profile Information

What motivated you (or your organization) to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?
My research interests draw from my PhD which was entitled ‘Masculinities, Citizenship and Political Objection to Compulsory Military Service in the South African Defence Force (SADF) 1978-1990’. This analysed competing discourses of masculinity and citizenship between South African white male political objectors to compulsory conscription, their supporters in the End Conscription Campaign (ECC) and the apartheid state. I am particularly interested in the intersections between gender, sexuality and militarisation and conceptualise military service and objection to it as performative acts generative of political subjectivities. I explore post-structural theories of politics and international relations and my work fits more broadly in gendered and feminist approaches to International Relations and Political Sociology.
Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself or the work of your organization (no more than 3 paragraphs)
I am a Lecturer in Politics in the Department of Politics, International Relations and European Studies, Loughborough University. Before coming to Loughborough I was at the Department of Politics, University of Bristol where I had been an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Post-Doctoral Fellow and Visiting Lecturer. I have a BA (Hons) in History and Politics from the University of Exeter and an MSc with Distinction in International Relations from the University of Bristol. I was awarded a PhD in Politics by Rhodes University, South Africa.
