My research encompasses two distinct and inter-related areas - human trafficking and the gendering of violence and peace. Critical trafficking studies is a growing field internationally and I am to the fore in shaping this area. Critical trafficking studies question the way knowledge of human trafficking is constructed, political responses to trafficking and the collateral damage to migrants these responses do. In 'The International Politics of Human Trafficking' (Palgrave 2016) and 'Feminism, Prostitution and the State' (Routledge 2017), I contribute to this by analysing the gendered politics of anti-trafficking norm formation at global (UN), regional (EU) and local (Irish) levels. In these and subsequent publications, I demonstrate that the criminalisation of trafficking by states and the 'victim/rescue' discourses of NGOs further the contemporary securitization of migration, to the detriment of exploited migrants. International recognition of my work includes membership of the editorial boards of the Journal of Human Trafficking and Frontiers: Society and Social Change. My second major research strand explores the gendering of violence and peace. My 2016-18 IRC New Foundations Grant with NGO partner Christian Aid Ireland researched 'responding to gender-based violence in contexts affected by conflict'. The learning from this research stressed the importance of an 'ecological' approach to GBV (from the personal to the political). The research has direct and important impacts, being used by the partner NGO to address GBV through programming in Zimbabwe and Myanmar. My expertise in the gendering of violence and peace is deployed as gender advisor to two H2020 projects on radicalisation, violent extremism and community resilience, PERICLES (2016-19) and PAVE (2019-2022). I co-curate a dissemination spin-off from PERICLES, Genderhub, a public engagement website of blogs and e-resources on the gendering of extremism. Forthcoming output from PAVE will provide innovative research and policy insights on gender, radicalisation, violence and peacebuilding.
