My area of research is based in International Relations, Security Studies, and Terrorism Studies. The focus of my study has been far-right and white supremacist political violence and organisation from a critical perspective. My research now has focused on the role that the Settler Colonial experience has on the shape of these groups, the external relations of, and the response to such groups.
