My research focuses mainly on gender/ intersectional perspectives on right-wing populist political communication; political discourses aimed at normalizing extreme right opinions; as well as the construction and maintenance of various power hierarchies within these discourses. I examine these phenomena in a comparative perspective both in the Nordic countries, with a focus on Sweden and Finland, as well as in Central Europe, with focus on Hungary and Romania.

Assistant Professor of Kinesiology and Health Education, The University of Texas at Austin
Owen Beck is an assistant professor at The University of Texas at Austin. His overall research goal is to improve human walking and running performance. This affinity for human performance began during his undergraduate studies at Humboldt State University (B.S. in Kinesiology). As a graduate student at the University of Colorado Boulder, he studied how prosthetic configuration affects running economy and sprinting speed in athletes with leg amputations (Ph.D. in Integrative Physiology). This graduate research led to Dr. Beck's involvement in two international court cases regarding the eligibility of athletes with limb amputations in Olympic track and field. As a postdoctoral fellow at Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University, Dr. Beck studied how exoskeletons affect muscle-tendon mechanics during walking, running and reactive balance.

Lecturer in Politics and International Relations, University of Exeter
My primary research interests lie in International Relations, British Foreign Policy and Security.
My current research examines the work of British public inquiries into issues of security and foreign policy. Briefly put, a public inquiry is an exercise in social science. It explains the occurrence of social phenomena. Social scientists are aware that their methodological commitments are productive. Methods and methodology ‘make social worlds’ by framing an explanation in terms of specific understandings of causation, structure and agency, and political responsibility. Through a range of qualitative methods this pioneering research explains how inquiries conduct their investigations, shaping contemporary policy debates and public discourse on security and strategy.
Funded by a highly competitive ESRC 1+3 Studentship, I completed my doctoral research in 2014, which examined the relationship between publicity, secrecy and security through the Iraq public inquiries. From 2003 Britain conducted several public inquiries, each obstructed by official secrecy justified on the grounds of national security. This led to an apparent dilemma whereby a liberal ideal of publicity was balanced against security. I rejected this balance. Instead I showed how publicity and official secrecy are both tools of security, and that the inquiries are a site of contestation between them. This research, grounded in a range of qualitative methodologies, showed how attempts to seek either publicity or secrecy constitute security practices. The inquiries and the British case for war were united by the same security practice, thus a resistance to government secrecy in the name of publicity reinforces rather than rejects the basis of liberal war.
My research has also generated important social and policy impact. I have been invited to speak on my research at the European Parliament, the Houses of Parliament, and on BBC radio.
Through my research activities I have developed a successful record of external funding, including awards from the British International Studies Association, the ESRC Festival of Social Science and an ESRC Overseas Institutional Visit award for a Visiting Scholar position at the New School for Social Research
