I am a Senior Lecturer in International Relations and the co-founder of the Centre for Gender in Politics at Queen's University, Belfast.
My research sits at the intersection of international politics, border and gender studies.
My research interests include dynamics of conflict transformation and peacebuilding; critical IR and feminist security studies , the Women, Peace and Security agenda ; EU border politics and geopolitics ; intersections between Postsocialist and Postcolonial studies. theoretical debates on citizenship ; the tensions between gender, ethnicity and nationalism. I am also interested Feminist and Queer Theory
At Dublin City University, I worked within the Irish Research Council funded project “Add Women and Hope? Assessing the gender impact of EU Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) missions”. Led by Dr Kenneth McDonagh the project explores the intersections between the Women Peace and Security Agenda and EU peacekeeping by focusing on the case studies of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo.
in 2014 I completed a postdoctoral fellowship within the EUFP7 project "EUborderscapes" based in the School of Politics, international Studies and Philosophy, at Queen’s University Belfast. My research within the project delved into cross-border cooperation and EU peacebuilding, the politics of cultural exchange and conflict transformation in the context of Bosnia-Herzegovina and the former Yugoslavia. My work focused on cinema both as aesthetically constitutive of the post-Yugoslav borderscape, and as medium for border-crossings.

In making sense of emotional states and affective moments in our research encounters, we experienced the fundamental challenge of translating what is ephemeral and affective on the page. Taking our own stakes and attachments seriously has proved difficult in ways that
perhaps we did not anticipate. It has unravelled a process of unlearning that dabbles with feelings, affective moments and sensations as intrinsic to our work and politics. Attending to the affective dimension of fieldwork encounters allows for alternative stories of what counts as research and knowledge to thrive.
settlement in Bosnia-Herzegovina and assesses possibilities for the
meaningful integration of the Women, Peace and Security agenda
into the consociational structures and post-conflict political
agenda. This article outlines how the reification and legitimization
of ethno-nationalist power over two decades of Dayton has
restricted the terrain for gender activism. A critical assessment of
post-Dayton governance reveals an unanticipated stratification
of the agreement. International pressure for the stability of the
peace settlement further constrains the complex task of addressing
the gendered legacies of conflict and conflict transformation. In
this context, local and international efforts to navigate Dayton’s
afterlives through gender activism act as a powerful reminder that
Bosnia-Herzegovina’s unfulfilled peace must remain a priority in
research, activist and policymaking agendas.
