Catherine is a feminist international relations and social movements scholar.

Her earlier work focused on the global justice movement and organising against neoliberalism; more recently, she has published on the gendered politics of protest camps and on feminism in relation to (anti)nuclear politics.

With Shine Choi, she coordinates the international, interdisciplinary FemNukes research network, which recently produced a special section of International Affairs combining feminist and decolonial approaches to the global nuclear order.

She is currently researching the transnational solidarity networks that linked women from Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp with Indigenous communities in the Pacific and the Americas.
