Hannah Richards is a Research Associate at the University of Bristol and holds a PhD from Cardiff University, UK. She is working on the ERC/UKRI funded project, Powerful Perpetrators: a five-year project looking at sexual misconduct and abuse perpetrated by professionals, and the regulatory and administrative justice mechanisms used to investigate and sanction their behaviour. Her primary research interests lie at the intersections of feminist international relations, critical military studies, and political/legal geographies – underpinned by a curiosity about how ideas of justice, violence, and accountability are navigated within powerful and trusted institutions.
