Trosolwyg

Victoria Basham’s research interests lie in the field of Critical Military Studies at the intersections of feminist international relations, critical geopolitics and international political sociology. Her work seeks to explore how war, and war preparedness, shape people’s daily lives and how daily life can, in turn, influence and facilitate war and other geopolitical outcomes. She is particularly interested in how gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality and social class shape the prioritisation, use and perpetration of military force, especially in liberal democratic societies.

In 2015, Victoria became the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Critical Military Studies (Taylor & Francis) which she co-founded and now co-edits with Dr Huw Bennett here at Cardiff (http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/rcms20).

Victoria is also co-editor of the Edinburgh University Press book series, Advances in Critical Military Studies, with Dr Sarah Bulmer at the University of Exeter (https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/series-advances-in-critical-military-studies.html).

Victoria serves as an elected member of the Executive Board of the European International Studies Association (http://www.eisa-net.org/) and from September 2017 she becomes EISA President for 2 years. In 2017 she also serves as Programme Chair (with Dr Cemel Burak Tansel at the University of Sheffield) of the EISA's 11th Pan-European Conference on International Relations, held in Barcelona, Spain (http://www.paneuropeanconference.org/2017/).

Ymchwil

I am currently working on an ESRC-Ministry of Defence grant with Dr Sergio Catignani at the University of Exeter on a project titled, Sustaining Future Reserves 2020: Assessing Organisational Commitment in the Reserves. The project considers those factors that shape and influence the commitment of volunteer reservists to serving in the British Army Reserves and what issues might motivate them to continuing serving or restrict them from doing so. It pays particular attention to the influence of family life and the pressures of civilian employment on the decisions that reservists make about their commitment to serving and intentions to remain in the Reserves, because the Army is becoming increasingly reliant on reservists at a time when changes to employment patterns and family life may also be placing greater pressure on them and their families.
