Summary of Research
My research focuses on the ways in which sexual violence against men in times of armed conflict has been framed by both non-governmental organisations and international legal institutions. In particular, I focus on what kinds of frames these organisations employ, and what kind of theoretical, conceptual, and practical implications these frames may have for understandings of both sexual violence against men and the sexual violence discourse as a whole.
