I am the founding co-director of the Centre for Gender in Politics at Queen’s University. My research interests sit at the intersection of feminist international relations, critical peace and conflict studies, and border studies. I mobilise feminist and other critical perspectives in International Studies to examine the interrelated issues of war, peace, and security.

Dr Jankowitz's research interests cut across sociology, victimology, social psychology and peace studies, though coalesce around critical, feminist analyses of how societies respond to and recover from violent conflict with focuses including Grassroots Peacebuilding, Victimhood, and Reconciliation.
