Queering Women, Peace and Security: Expanding Feminist Approaches to Gender in Peacebuilding

Jamie J. Hagen is a Lecturer in Global Politics at the University of Manchester and a researcher applying a feminist and anti-racist approach to bridging gaps between academic, policy, and activism. Formerly Hagen was a Lecturer in International Relations at Queen's University Belfast where she co-founded the Centre for Gender in Politics. Working at the intersection of gender, security studies, and queer theory, Hagen is an expert on ways international bodies consider LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) populations in peacebuilding, with a special focus on how Women, Peace and Security initiatives can better include LGBTQ voices and experiences, especially lesbian, bisexual, and transgender women. She is co-editor of Queer Conflict Research: New Approaches to the Study of Political Violence.
