Serena Timmoneri

Serena Timmoneri serves as a Lecturer in Criminology and Policing within the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Anglia Ruskin University's Faculty of Arts, Humanities, Education and Social Sciences. Her academic profile bridges criminology, international relations, and gender studies with specialized expertise in terrorism dynamics and atrocity prevention mechanisms.

Educational Background:

• PhD in Political Sciences, University of Catania (2017)
• Master Degree in Global Politics and Euro-Mediterranean Relations, University of Catania (2012, cum laude)
• Bachelor Degree in International Relations and EU Politics, University of Messina (2009)

Research Focus: Dr. Timmoneri's scholarship centers on gender dimensions of terrorism, analyzing recruitment processes and de-radicalization pathways for female Islamist terrorists. Her work critically examines the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) framework through lenses of gender equality, peacebuilding, and genocide prevention, with empirical focus on Africa and North Korea. This interdisciplinary approach integrates criminological theory with international security paradigms to address systemic vulnerabilities to mass atrocities.

Publication Trends: Her research trajectory demonstrates consistent investigation into gender inequality as a structural driver of genocide risk. The 2018 book and subsequent publications reveal methodological evolution from theoretical R2P analysis to case-specific examinations of 'peacetime atrocities,' establishing connections between gender-based violence, state sovereignty limitations, and international intervention doctrines across African and Asian contexts.

Award Recognition: No scientific awards or fellowships were documented in source materials.

Academic Leadership: As module leader for Introduction to Politics and International Relations (Level 4) and War, Peacekeeping and Military Interventions (MA level), she shapes curricula integrating contemporary security challenges. Conference engagements at EUROCRIM and SISP demonstrate active knowledge dissemination, though formal student advising structures remain unspecified.

Collaborative Networks: Current affiliations indicate participation in international academic networks through conference presentations and webinar leadership, though dedicated research laboratories or institutional teams are not referenced in available documentation.
