Welcome!
I am the Canada Research Chair in Gender, Security, and the Armed Forces, Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation Fellow and a Full Professor of Political Studies at Queen’s University.
My research on NATO, military culture, and Women, Peace, and Security is rooted in a commitment to build more inclusive security outcomes.
As co-director with the Canadian Defence and Security Network and founder of Women in International Security – Canada, I strive to lead collaborative teams to bridge the gap between the world of academia and practice.
Newest Book:
A detailed account, based on fieldwork and interviews, of how Women, Peace and Security norms are militarized and put at the service of operational effectiveness.
