Katharine Wright

Dr Katharine A. M. Wright is a Lecturer in International Politics in the Department of Politics, Newcastle University.

Her primary research concerns NATO, and more recently the EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy. Katharine’s work explores the intersection of gender and security in institutional settings. A key strand of this research has involved exploring the engagement of international security institutions with UNSCR 1325 and the Women, Peace and Security agenda. This research has been published in International Affairs, JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies and International Political Science Review. She has also published on NATO’s approach to digital diplomacy in Media, War, and Conflict. Katharine is currently working on a monograph contracted to Routledge, and co-authored with Matthew Hurley and Jesus Gil Ruiz, examining NATO’s historical engagement with gender issues. Relatedly, she is interested in approaches to studying resistant institutions and the gendered nature of the research process itself. Her work on collaborative reflexivity with Matthew Hurley has been published in the International Feminist Journal of Politics.
