Autorenporträt
Lucy Hall is a lecturer at the University of Amsterdam. Lucy's research focuses on the gendered construction of protection and the gendered logics of statist ontologies of protection. In particular, Lucy is interested in the protection of conflict-affected populations (civilians, internally displaced persons and refugees) and the ways in which states discursively construct protection through existing and evolving laws, normative frameworks, policies and practices. Anna L. Weissman is a PhD Candidate and Instructor at the University of Florida, and former FLAS Fellow at UF's Center for European Studies (2013-2017). Her research theorizes the relations between sexuality, reproduction, an national identity. Anna focuses on same-sex reproductive rights in Europe, uncovering the intertwining histories of normative sexuality, traditional procreative gender roles, and the mythology of the nation-state, developing the concept of Repronormativity. Anna has published in the Journal of GLBT Family Studies, the International Feminist Journal of Politics, the Journal of Women, Politics, and Policy, and in the Routledge Handbook of Gender and Security. Laura J. Shepherd is Professor of International Relations at the University of Sydney, Australia, and a Visiting Senior Fellow at the LSE Centre for Women, Peace and Security in London, UK.
