DPhil candidate in International Relations at Pembroke College, University of Oxford and Visiting Scholar at ETH Zürich.
My research examines the relationship between political violence, social reproduction and labour strategies, with a particular attention to armed organisations, rebel governance and civil resistance movements.
Research
Re-thinking security through the work that sustains political life.
My doctoral research develops a social reproduction approach to armed rebel organisations, asking how gendered divisions of labour shape rebellion, governance, and political violence.
I also work across international relations theory, political economy and conflict studies.
