Welcome to my website. I am a feminist political geographer teaching and writing about the spatial politics of war, gender, and humanitarianism. I am currently an assistant professor of International Relations at the University of Sheffield and an affiliate at the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) at Stanford University. Previously, I held fellowships at Stanford University and the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University. I received my PhD in Geography from the University of California, Berkeley.
I study the gender politics of global war and militarization and have published a book (At War with Women) and several articles based on this research. I also direct a collaborative research project with the Purdue Policy Research Institute and the Costs of War Project at Brown University, which reimagines US foreign policy beyond permanent war. This project is funded by the Carnegie Corporation International Peace and Security Program.
My new research is about the violence constitutive of humanitarian intervention in Haiti. A new book in progress mobilizes Haitian feminist logics of security to critically examine a century of militarized interventions.
