My primary research interests are in Critical Security Studies, Critical Theory, and technology and international relations. Within this I focus in particular on how narratives of technological development are employed within the issue areas of nuclear security, ballistic missile defence and space security.

My teaching expertise encompasses the study of the study of international security, critical approaches to security and international theory. I am particularly interested in getting students to think critically about the way key issues in international politics and security are conceptualized and framed, and the practical and theoretical implications that follow.
