My research interests lie in the fields of Critical Military Studies, Feminist International Relations and Identity Politics. In particular, I study issues relating to gender and war, memory politics, art/aesthetics in IR, heroes and heroism, militarism and militarisation in Western and non-Western contexts, and political and security developments in post-Soviet Eurasian states.
My doctoral research looked at the discourses and practices of war commemoration in the UK and Russia. In particular, it examined the representations of British and Russian military fatalities of modern conflicts through mass media, physical and virtual memorials, and war-related ceremonies. The findings of this research outlined in my book, The Politics of War Commemoration in the UK and Russia (Palgrave, 2015).
I am looking forward to work on my new research project, 'Military and Arts Collaborations in the Era of the Global War on Terror: Comparison of the US and the UK (2001-present)' (Dec 2020-Dec 2021) supported by the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland.
I am continuing to work on a series of publications resulted from my research project, 'War Commemoration, Military Culture and Identity Politics in Scotland' (Jan 2017-Jan 2018) and follow-up fieldwork in 2018, 2019, which was funded by the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland (RG13890/70560) and School of Social Science at Aberdeen. Dr Kandida Purnell (Richmond University, London) and Dr Emma Dolan have worked as Project Research Assistants, and are currently working as co-authors. See updates: https://twitter.com/scot_war
Previously, I was co-investigator of the AHRC-funded 'Hero Project', 2015-16 (AH/M006271/1), which explored the role of a hero in modern Britain. Working with Abbie Garrington (University of Newcastle, principal investigator) and Berny Sebe (University of Birmingham, co-investigator), I studied the public perceptions of modern heroes and co-authored a paper with Dr Ekaterina Kolpinskaya (University of Exeter).
