Ellen Martin (she/her) is a PhD candidate in the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies (SPAIS) at the University of Bristol, UK. Her research is situated within critical military studies and feminist international relations. With the aim of interrogating and destabilising military power, she explores the relationships between public discourse and the production of war and violence. Ellen is particularly interested in the diverse ways in which war and violence are performed in liberal societies, including through support, disengagement and resistance.
