My research explores sovereignty in International Relations and Political Theory through indigenous and anti-colonial struggles, and especially the Palestinian liberation movement. My research explores how transnational policing and security infrastructures and technologies emerge to maintain colonial and racist power. I use transdisciplinary methods inspired by queer, feminist and abolitionist roots to rethink questions of sovereignty and justice in contemporary politics.
Areas of research:
Palestinian politics
Imperialism
Queer Theory
Performativity
Techno-Politics
