I am currently completing a PhD on the gendered assumptions of the concept 'spoiler' in Kosovo's peace process. My research applies a critical feminist lens to unpack the assumptions behind who questions a peace process and why, and how the use of the term 'spoiler' can exclude or marginalise women from engaging in a peace process. I focus on how gender intersects with: in/security, mobilisation and activism, peace and political processes, corruption, and organised crime. I have experience as a research officer for Monash University and the Australian Institute of Family Studies, as a junior consultant reviewing CSSF's peacebuilding programmes in the Asia Pacific, and as a research assistant working across a range of projects, including UN Women, Asian Development Bank, and for governments of Pacific Island countries.
