I am a feminist researcher working in Critical Military Studies and International Relations. My work explores the relationship between gender, sexuality, and military power, the impacts and legacies of war and war-preparedness, and military identities. I teach modules on global politics, humanitarian emergencies, and war and society. My aim is to encourage and enable students to engage in independent critique of the world around them and to develop confidence using their own voice to engage with political issues.

I am editor, with Professor Victoria Basham, of Edinbugh University Press's Advances in Critical Military Studies book series.

I sit on the editorial board of Critical Military Studies.
