I am a DPhil candidate in International Relations (IR) at Green Templeton College, University of Oxford. My research - funded by a scholarship from the Economic and Social Research Council - explores theories of international order, specifically the English School and political theology, and their ability to explain and resolve normative conflicts in contemporary society of states. Beyond my doctoral research, and based on my experience with the British military, Ministry of Defence and NATO, I have also written on defence and security issues.
