My research is at the intersection of gender, security studies and queer theory. I research LGBTQ inclusion in Women, Peace and Security practices as well as queer analysis of security studies more broadly.
With my research I bridge a feminist security studies approach with queer theory to offer a more complete gender analysis of how the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security resolutions impact lesbian, bisexual and transgender women living in conflict-related environments. The central contribution of my research is a queer security analysis of women’s experiences in conflict-related environments. I am also interested in considering how best to include LGBTQ individuals in peacebuilding initiatives in post-conflict environments.
I am also the Founding Co-Director of the Queen's University Belfast Centre for Gender in Politics.
I am a visiting research with the SPIN - the Secrecy, Power, and Ignorance research Network where I am working on my Queer Peace and Security Secrets project.
