My current research agenda is focused on two main themes:

 

1. The politics of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) in international law, with a special focus on how international legal actors make sense of the "unexpected victims" of CRSV: men, transgender women, and people outside the gender binary; and

 

2. How various international actors use law to articulate and govern the sexual dangers of digital technology on a global scale, including the legal regulation of online consent, Internet-based sex work, and generative artificial intelligence.
