Summary of Research

My research focuses on the ways in which sexual violence against men in times of armed conflict has been discursively constructed by both non-governmental organisations and international legal institutions. Adopting a poststructuralist, Discourse-Theoretical approach, I analyse documents produced by NGOs and international legal institutions with the aim of problematising and developing a critical perspective on the discourses produced and reinforced by these texts.
