I am interested in the sociopolitical ramifications of gender-based violence in armed conflict, with particular focus on transitional justice mechanisms during peacebuilding and how political institutions address and attend to survivors’ needs and interests in the aftermath of war. I am also interested in how international organizations define and classify global humanitarian crises, as well as the decision-making processes of leadership en route to deploying multilateral humanitarian military interventions. I aim to engage in feminist theory, prioritize intersectionality, and apply a mixed methods approach of investigation in my doctoral research.

Research Interests:

Gender-Based Violence in Armed Conflict, Transitional Justice Mechanisms in Peacebuilding Settings, Feminist Theory in International Relations, Regime Change and National Transition
