Biography

Kandida Purnell is an Honorary Research Fellow and former Teaching Fellow in Politics and International Relations at the University of Aberdeen. Kandida's research advances International Relations (IR) by interrogating how discourses, practices, and performances of violence, conflict, and security assemble/disassemble and move bodies and how bodies may act in turn to (dis/)assemble violence, conflict, and security regimes. Kandida's first book 'Re-thinking the Body in Global Politics: Bodies, Body Politics, Bodies Politic' will be published by Routledge's Interventions series in 2019.

Kandida has five years undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and supervisory experience and has taught 18 courses offered by the University of Aberdeen's School of Social Science.
