Shannon Mathieu serves as a Teaching Fellow in International Security at the School of Politics and International Studies (PAIS), University of Warwick. Her administrative roles include:
- Deputy Director of Undergraduate Studies
- Joint Undergraduate Courses Director for Economics, Politics and International Studies (EPAIS), History and Politics, Philosophy and Politics, and Politics, International Studies and Global Sustainable Development
- PAIS Undergraduate Study Skills lead (Term 1)
She teaches PO207: Politics of the USA, PO382: Vigilant State: Understanding Secret Intelligence, and PO3A7: Gender, Race and Militarism for the 2025-26 academic year.
Her research critically examines international security through feminist IR theory, focusing on United Nations policy frameworks. Key interests include the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), gendered constructions of vulnerability, non-military masculinities in institutional culture, and discursive power dynamics in humanitarian interventions. Her work exposes how protection narratives reinforce patriarchal structures within global security governance.
Recent publications analyze evolving gender-security intersections in UN interventions, revealing persistent masculine norms in R2P frameworks while exploring pedagogical innovations using cultural texts. Her scholarship demonstrates consistent thematic progression toward deconstructing gendered power hierarchies in international security institutions, with emerging work examining burden-sharing dynamics in protection mandates.
