Research interests
Jennifer joined the Department in September 2017 as a Lecturer in Comparative Politics.
Her core research and teaching interests are in gender and politics, broadly defined. Current work focuses on the concept of feminist foreign policy; reproductive rights during conflict; and women’s rights in post-conflict divided societies. From 2018-2019, she is CoI on the GCRF funded project "Menstrual Taboos and Menstrual Hygiene Policy in Nepal."
She is the author of Abortion Law and Political Institutions: Explaining Policy Resistance (Palgrave, 2019). Her work has been published in, amongst others, International Studies Review, the British Journal of Politics and International Relations and the International Political Science Review. As a former Managing Editor of the LSE British Politics and Policy blog, she has a keen interest in using blogs and social media to promote academic research.
She currently co-convenes the PSA Women and Politics Specialist Group.
