Locating Victimhood
This article examines how the British military responds to sexual violence experienced by its servicewomen. Drawing on observations of 15 hearings at a British military court center, it argues that the logic of operational effectiveness saturates the material and conceptual foundations of military justice. The article shows how the institution is imagined as the victimized subject within the military courts, in turn creating the conditions for th…
Petticoat patrols’
Northern Irish society continues to navigate a competition to control the post-conflict legacy where contested histories attempt to satisfy diverse agendas. Within this deeply contested public memory, the women of the Ulster Defence Regiment, otherwise known as the Greenfinches, and their stories, have remained largely hidden. In 2023, the authors came together as researchers and a heritage practitioner to prepare a research showcase of previousl…
The promised futures of military protection
This short piece problematises the politics of the British military’s protection promises. In it, we explore how the future is instrumentalised to govern in the present and how this shapes the military’s response to sexual violence perpetrated by its personnel. First, we consider protection as a negotiated attachment to future security. We show how the military’s promise to protect women within its ranks through the eradication of sexual violence…
Rethinking 'protection' in international relations
These intervention pieces seek to question protection, a concept within International Relations (IR) that is everywhere, yet rarely explicitly discussed. The field of IR is founded upon the central tenets of state, power and security. Protection is implicit within these concepts. It is both the outcome and the promise of security–it is inbetween. But what is protection? Practices of protection are not only under-theorised but also uphold unjust h…
Coming of age within ‘implosion’
In a recent article, Maria Eriksson Baaz and Swati Parashar 1 trace the continued salience of Eurocentrism in critical International Relations (IR), demonstrating how the ‘master’s outlook’ continues to stifle the study of global politics; they ultimately encourage an unsettling and even implosion of the discipline. Starting from this proposed ‘implosion’ of critical IR, this article reflects on our hopes, as two current PhD candidates and one ea…
Backlash of the 'betrayed' squaddies
This article examines how particular frames of military violence emerge, solidify, and fracture around popular media representations of veteran-led protest in response to the Northern Ireland legacy investigations. Curious about how popular ‘pro-militarist’ media navigate unsettling incidents of extreme and unlawful military violence that anti-activism draws attention to, this article uses a discourse analysis of the news coverage of the activism…
Studying “Radio Machete”
The role played by the media throughout the Rwandan Genocide has justifiably attracted substantial attention from scholars. Since 1994, the increasing availability of transcripts of radio broadcasts online has helped produce a rich and fruitful body of research into the extremist propaganda of pre-, early- and late-genocide Rwanda. Through constructive engagement with the existing literature, we identify four common limitations that characterize …
