Claire Duncanson

Claire Duncanson is Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Edinburgh, developing feminist analyses of peacebuilding political economies. Her research examines intersections of gender justice, climate security, and post-conflict reconstruction through critical policy engagement.

She collaborates with the Consortium on Gender, Security and Human Rights on the Feminist Roadmap for Sustainable Peace project, influencing Scottish and UK policy frameworks. Her work connects feminist political economy with ecological crisis response.

Duncanson's research investigates:

• Feminist critiques of Green New Deals
• Women, Peace and Security agenda in climate contexts
• Gender dimensions of postwar economic recovery
• Military transformations towards gender equality

Her publications challenge conventional security paradigms, advocating for care-centered economic alternatives and just ecological transitions. Policy briefings address natural resource governance in fragile states and feminist foreign policy development.

Duncanson contributes expert testimony to parliamentary committees and international organizations on gender-climate-conflict intersections.
