As a member of the International Studies Association – International Security Studies Section Taskforce on Diversity in Security Studies, I have worked alongside Taskforce Chair Maria Rost Rublee (Monash University) to gather data on demographic and intellectual diversity within global security studies via surveys, interviews, analysis of syllabi, and analysis of security studies authorship. We have also recently conducted research into the state of diversity in Canadian Security Studies with our colleagues Stéfanie von Hlatky (Queen’s University), Stephen Saideman (Carleton University) and Fernando Nunez-Mietz (McGill University).
