International Relations and Ethics

The International Relations and Ethics research theme brings together a group of inter- and cross-disciplinary scholars specialising in a range of approaches to international politics, security and conflict, including – but not limited to – international political sociology, critical theory, post-structuralism, critical security studies, and feminist, post/de-colonial and intersectional approaches.

The theme seeks to build an inclusive and collaborative research community around International Relations and Ethics that is both intellectually stimulating and functions as a network of support for scholars at all career stages.
