In conversation with Katy Barrow-Grint, Assistant Chief Constable, Thames Valley Police
Michael Wakin
I am a DPhil candidate in International Relations at St. Antony's College, University of Oxford. Specialising in International Political Economy, my research focuses on the domestic politics and policymaking of countries amidst economic crisis.
I have prior work experiences at the US Department of the Treasury and the Associated Press. Before beginning the DPhil, I completed the MPhil (Distinction) in International Relations at Mansfield College, University of Oxford.
Baptiste Alloui-Cros
Baptiste Alloui-Cros is a DPhil student in International Relations under the supervision of Professor Dominic Johnson (Oxford) and Professor Kenneth Payne (King's College London). His research focuses on the intersection of AI and strategic thought, and examines how wargames can be used as a bridge between those two areas to inform strategy. Relying on an interdisciplinary approach including insights from strategic theory, wargaming, psychology, and machine learning, his work has a strong experimental component.
Pilar Sánchez Bellosta
I am a DPhil candidate in Politics at the University of Oxford, supported by Nuffield College and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). My research explores the gendered political consequences of conflict-related sexual violence, using a quantitative and comparative approach. More specifically, I explore how wartime sexual violence shapes attitudes towards gender equality, women's political mobilisation and legislation on violence against women.

I am a second-year Political Theory candidate at Linacre College. I'm broadly interested in affect theory, feminist studies, and questions of citizenship and sovereignty.
I completed my undergraduate studies at Cornell University with a double major in Government and Literatures in English, graduating summa cum laude. My undergraduate thesis examined the role of affect in Brontë's Wuthering Heights from a Foucauldian lens. After graduating, I spent two years at a pro-democracy non-profit.
