- Profile
-
Megan Price joined the Department of Politics and International Relations in May 2022 as a Research Associate in International Relations. Prior to moving to Sheffield, she completed a Bachelor of Arts with Class I Honours (2014) and a PhD (2019) in the field of IR at the University of Queensland, Australia. Her research interests include international security, terrorism, human rights, and the politics of legitimacy. She recently published a monograph based on her PhD - International Legitimacy and the Domestic Use of Force: A New Theoretical Framework with Routledge Press. The book explores how states have sought to justify violent counter-insurgency measures to international audiences.
- Research interests
-
My current research interests fall into two areas stemming from my broader concern with legitimacy and state violence. First, working with Professor Ruth Blakeley, I'm examining ongoing practices of detention and trial at the US-run Guantanamo Bay detention facility. Second, I am exploring the intersection of armed conflict and state recognition practices. I am particularly interested in how actors negotiate the meaning of legitimate violence and authority in contexts where statehood is contested.
