Clara is a Senior Lecturer in International Relations and the Associate Dean for Research & Enterprise in the School of Law and Social Sciences (London South Bank University). Her current research lies at the intersection of feminist writing in International Relations, gender and foreign policy, with a particular focus on feminist foreign policy, the remasculinisation of international politics and anti-genderism.
She is currently co-editing a book (with Hannah Partis-Jennings) on 'Feminist Policymaking in Turbulent Times: Critical Perspectives' (Routledge) which explores the growing integration of feminism and gender equality agendas in various areas of policy. In her chapter on 'French feminist diplomacy', Clara critically engages with this policy as a narrative and a strategic tool for France to re-brand itself as a 'feminist actor' on the international stage.
