Keir Starmer’s speeches before and after the release of the UK's Strategic Defence Review contain narratives that make nuclear strengthening seem prudent and logical. But Zeenat Sabur argues that these narratives are fallacies, that if poked at, alert us to the insecurity to which nuclear posturing leads us
Zeenat's doctoral research examines the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, through narratives.
Specifically, it looks at the stories the US and UK tell to the nuclear-armed world to make disarmament seem absurd, and the stories told by the proponents of disarmament.
Zeenat is also a teaching fellow at the University of Leicester, in the department of History, Politics, and International Relations.
She is a steering group member of Drone Wars UK, and has previously worked as a research assistant at the University of Birmingham on a project looking at the legitimacy and legality of drone warfare, funded by the Open Society Foundations.
