Research and Teaching Fellow in International Security, University of Warwick
I am Research and Teaching Fellow in International Security in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick. In May 2017, I was awarded a three-year Early Career Fellowship by the Leverhulme Trust, which will begin in May 2018. My research has been published in the academic journals Critical Studies on Security (CSoS), Geopolitics and Asian Security and I have appeared as a commentator on US foreign policy and American politics on several UK and international news media outlets (BBC News, Sky News, Al Jazeera, CNBC, Deutsche Welle).
My latest research monograph, 'American Grand Strategy under Obama' published in July 2017, examines the breakdown of the national consensus on America's role in the world. The book explores competing discourses of national security under the Obama presidency, and how the Obama Doctrine posed a practical challenge to the established elite consensus on American exceptionalism and liberal hegemony by emphasising military restraint and 'leading from behind. I argue that under Obama American grand strategy no longer represented a coherent and consistent equation of material resources and political ends, but a contested discursive space, where identity and policy no longer matched up.
