Biography

Laura J. Shepherd is Australian Research Council Future Fellow and Professor of International Relations at The University of Sydney, Australia and a Senior Research Fellow at the LSE Centre for Women, Peace and Security. She has researched extensively on the Women, Peace and Security agenda since its inception.
