Jamie J . Hagen
I am a lecturer in Global Politics at the University of Manchester. My research is at the intersection of gender, security studies and queer theory. I research LGBTQ inclusion in Women, Peace and Security practices as well as queer analysis of security studies more broadly.
With my research I bridge a feminist security studies approach with queer theory to offer a more complete gender analysis of how the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security resolutions impact lesbian, bisexual and transgender women living in conflict-related environments. The central contribution of my research is a queer security analysis of women’s experiences in conflict-related environments.
I am also interested in considering how best to include LGBTQ individuals in peacebuilding initiatives in post-conflict environments.I am the Associate Digital Media Editor for the International Feminist Journal of Politics where I edit the blog. I also serve as the Member-at-Large and Communications Officer for the LGBTQA Caucus of the International Studies Association.
I received my PhD from the University of Massachusetts Boston in the Global Governance and Human Security program. I was the 2018-2019 ISA James N. Rosenau Post-Doctoral Fellow. For Spring 2019 I was also a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Women, Peace and Security at the London School for Economics and Politics.I am excited about the opportunity to talk about my research as well as global LGBTQ politics and have given numerous guest lectures including at the University of Sussex, the University of Essex, Wellesley, the University of Massachusetts - Amherst, Roger Williams University and Juilliard.

Journal Articles by Jamie J . Hagen
Este artículo explora lo que aporta el concepto queer/cuir a la construcción de paz, exponiendo un marco de referencia y una introducción para un número temático sobre la construcción de paz queer/cuir. Se presenta una aproximación inicial a este tema, lo que significa centrar las perspectivas queer/cuir y trans de la paz, así como aportar epistemologías queer/cuir a la forma en que se constituye la paz para rearticular el concepto tanto en la teoría, como en la práctica. Con ello, se aborda un vacío en los esfuerzos de construcción de la paz que buscan alcanzar justicia de género y seguridad inclusiva en sociedades afectadas por conflictos, es decir, se examinan las experiencias únicas de las personas LGBTQ (lesbianas, gays, bisexuales, trans y queer) y sus esfuerzos colectivos en pos de lograr la justicia social en esos contextos. Los autores abordan el tema de la construcción de la paz queer/cuir a través de tres preguntas: ¿qué es la construcción de la paz queer/cuir?, ¿por qué es importante la construcción de la paz queer/cuir? y ¿en qué puede contribuir la construcción de la paz queer/cuir?. Aunque los impactos de la consolidación de la paz queer/cuir en los lugares de conflicto político de todo el mundo son visibles, este sigue siendo un concepto emergente y un tanto esquivo, que todavía se está construyendo dentro de los estudios y las prácticas de paz y seguridad. Al presentar una conceptualización de la noción de construcción de la paz queer/cuir, los autores pretenden impulsar los esfuerzos académicos para construirla y analizarla.

of employing a gender lens to better understand
power and violence in global politics. Sexuality is
an important dimension of these gendered power
dynamics. LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,
and queer) perspectives in peacebuilding
unsettle the assumptions about what is the “correct”
or “normal” sexual orientation, gender identity,
or family structure. Drawing on a multiplicity
of LGBTQ voices to inform post-conflict
responses allows for a more expansive approach
to understanding what gendered insecurities look
like and how best to respond to them. Centering
LGBTQ communities in responses to conflictrelated
violence is also important when working
to develop peacebuilding processes that move
beyond the heteronormative patriarchal power
dynamics that have historically resulted in violent
conflict. LGBTQ perspectives in peacebuilding
introduce voices generally marginalized or left
out entirely.

About the book: This book argues that homophobia plays a fundamental role in disputes for hegemony between antagonists during political transitions. Examining countries not often connected in the same research—Colombia and South Africa—the book asserts that homophobia, as a form of gender and sexual violence, contributes to the transformation of gender and sexual orders required by warfare and deployed by armed groups. Anti-homosexual violence also reinforces the creation of consensus around these projects of change. The book considers the perspective of individuals and their organizations, for whom such hatreds are part of the embodied experience of violence caused by protracted conflicts and social inequalities. Resistance to that violence are reason to mobilize and become political actors. This book contributes to the increasing interest in South-South comparative analyses and the need of theory building based on case-study analyses, offering systematic research useful for grass root organizations, practitioners, and policy makers.
