Vivienne Jabri

Vivienne Jabri is Professor of International Politics and Coordinator of the Centre for the Study of Political Community. She joined King’s in 2003, having previously lectured at the University of St. Andrews and the University of Kent. Professor Jabri's research draws on critical and poststructural social and political theory to investigate the nexus between international politics and war, specifically how war and interventionist practices (including peacebuilding operations) relate to sovereignty, political community, subjectivity, the international politics of culture and race, and the political/juridical structure of the international. Her current research and writing focus on war/violence and conceptions of cosmopolitan political community in a globalised world. Professor Jabri has held European Commission funding for collaborative research on the relationship between practices of security, war, and their implications for liberties and rights. Professor Jabri serves on the Editorial Boards of the journals International Political Sociology and Security Dialogue, and is a member of the Politics and International Studies subpanel for the 2014 REF.
