My research uses intersectional, decolonial feminist lenses to analyse conflict mediation and diplomacy, centring on the practices of international organisations like the United Nations. I use an array of qualitative and quantitative methods to construct interpretive research designs that parse how conflict mediation and diplomacy are gendered, with particular attention to how everyday institutional practices sustain or challenge oppressive structures.
