PhD Research
My research investigates the development of, and differentiation between, state Atrocity Prevention Strategies. Ultimately, I hope this work will improve the efficacy of Atrocity Prevention globally.

Alliance for Prevention of Atrocity Crimes
Alongside my research, I coordinate the Alliance for Prevention of Atrocity Crimes (APAC). APAC brings together civil society expertise and policy makers knowledge to share best practice in atrocity prevention. Our vision is a world where all nation states have the means to prevent and respond to atrocity crimes in the national policy.

Talking Responsibility
I joined the Responsibility Collective in 2023 as Associate Editor of the Podcast and Interview Series. Here, I combine my interests in Atrocity Prevention and Global Governance with my skills as a communicator by interviewing academics and practitioners. Each month discusses a new topic to understand how the concept of responsibility intersects with a range of research interests.
