معرفی
Dr Doerthe Rosenow is a Lecturer in International Relations at King's College London's Department of War Studies, within the School of Security Studies. She holds a PhD in War Studies from King’s College London and has over 10 years of experience teaching and researching in higher education, previously at Oxford Brookes University and Royal Holloway, University of London.
Her research focuses on Indigenous and radical Black thought in relation to settler colonialism, particularly analyzing German colonial encounters with North America and the concept of 'German colonial innocence.' She interrogates the colonial present as a location-specific yet globally interconnected phenomenon, challenging Anglo-American-centric narratives in decolonial studies. Her interdisciplinary work spans International Relations, cultural studies, Indigenous/Native studies, anthropology, human geography, and continental philosophy.
Rosenow's publications include the book Un-making Environmental Activism: Beyond Modern/Colonial Binaries in the GMO Controversy (2018) and co-edited volumes like Vulnerability and the Politics of Care (2021). Recent articles explore settler imperialism critiques, decolonial theory, and Foucaultian approaches to resistance. Her work emphasizes ontological encounters in political struggles and the limitations of existing frameworks in capturing colonial violence.
Teaching includes modules on contemporary security issues, global governance of conflict, and postcolonial approaches in international politics. She supervises PhD students in areas like settler colonialism, decolonial approaches, German colonialism, and anti-racist activism. Rosenow is affiliated with King's Research Centre in International Relations, focusing on security practices and their societal implications.
