Stephan Engelkamp

Dr. Stephan Engelkamp is a Senior Lecturer in International Relations Education at King's College London's Department of War Studies. He holds a PhD in Political Science from the University of Muenster and has held academic positions at universities in Germany and France. His research focuses on global security governance, norm dynamics, and the intersection of international relations theory with political anthropology.

Engelkamp's work critically examines normalisation processes in global politics and identity construction. His research connects postcolonial and feminist approaches with anthropological methods to analyze security discourses, memory politics, and resistance in European governance contexts. Primary interests include German/European identity politics, post-conflict reconciliation, and experimental academic methodologies.

His publications demonstrate consistent focus on norm theory, visual peace studies, and critical pedagogy. Recent work engages with cinematic representations of conflict and auto-ethnographic methods. Engelkamp actively supervises doctoral research in critical security studies and IR theory.
