We are delighted to announce three new Guest
Professors who will be joining us at Gregynog IV: Samson O. Opondo, Annick T.
R. Wibben and Marysia Zalewski. Annick and Marysia were part of the original
team at the first Ideas Lab; Sam is joining us for the first time.
·
Sam Opondo's research is guided by an interest in
colonialism, race and the mediation of estrangement. With an emphasis on
violence, ethics and diplomacies of everyday life, he engages the problematics
of humanitarianism, the politics of redemption and the popular culture in urban
Africa.
·
Annick Wibben’s research straddles (critical)
security studies, international theory, and feminist international relations.
She is well known for her agenda-setting work in feminist security studies, and
she also has a keen interest in issues of methodology, representation, and
writing.
·
Marysia Zalewski has published widely in the area of
feminist theory, gender and international relations. She is
Director of the Centre for Gender Studies at the University of Aberdeen,
and she has long been recognised as one of the leading critical voices in
International Relations Theory.
