Lecturer in International Relations and Politics

About

I hold a B.A. (Hons) degree in Political Science from the University of Melbourne, Australia and a PhD from the University of Manchester in International Relations and Security. My research interests comprise of three broad areas:

*    IR theory (constructivist and normative approaches in IR)
*    Swedish and Scandinavian politics (foreign policy, Social Democratic theory and ideology, identity, globalisation, EU membership, welfare states, internationalism, and the ‘war on terror’)
*    Security and neutral states in the international system, particularly EU ‘militarily non-aligned’ member states and European security cooperation; critical approaches to security.

I am currently engaged in two research projects. The first concerns the Danish and Swedish cartoon crises, identity and subjectivity.
The second concerns social democratic ideology and intervention in the context of identity and memory.
