I am also the committee secretary for the Defence Research Network (DRN).

I work as a tutor on the 'International Politics in the Nuclear Age' third-year module and the 'Introduction to Globalisation' first-year module.

Academic Background:

BSc Sociology (2017-2020) Loughborough University.

MA Security (2020-2021) Loughborough University.

Ymchwil

My research looks at the securitization of outer space through the case of the United Nations agenda item, ‘the prevention of an arms race in outer space’ (PAROS). In this context, the project focuses on the framing of space security since the 1980s and across various PAROS initiatives in the UN First Committee and Conference on Disarmament.

I am also interested in the intersection of space and nuclear security issues. Specifially I explore the use of satellites for arms control verification and monitoring and the impact of open-source intelligence for this purpose.

Addysgu

  • International Politics in the Nuclear Age - third-year module.
