(They/Them)
International Relations researcher at the University of Edinburgh. In my doctoral research, I examined portrayals of the Japanese Military and how they use popular culture. My broader interests are gender, Japan, postmodernity and military.
It was also especially nice to be graduating alongside my BISA-buddy and generally awesome person @lindseygarnerknapp.bsky.social 😊

So, apparently I'm a doctor now? 😱
It's been an amazing journey and even with all the stress and hardships of academic life it has ultimately given me so much joy. I've met so many brilliant and wonderful people in these last few years and I'm already excited (if a little scared) about what's next!

The sheer irony of reading an introductory chapter on feminist conceptualisations of power and then having that same chapter blatantly deadname and misgender RW Connell.

I guess you could count that as an example of a gendered power discourse at work?
