Professional Bio:
Charli Carpenter joined the
Department of Political Science at
University of Massachusetts-Amherst in Fall 2008, after teaching for
four years at
University of Pittsburgh's
Graduate School of Public and International Affairs. Her teaching and
research interests include national security ethics, the laws of war,
transnational advocacy networks, gender and political violence, war crimes,
comparative genocide studies, humanitarian affairs and the role of
information technology in human security. She has a particular interest in
the gap between intentions and outcomes among advocates of human security.
She is the author of
Innocent Women and Children: Gender, Norms and the Protection of Civilians,
and the editor of
Born of War: Protecting Children of Sexual Violence Survivors in Conflict
Zones. She has also published numerous articles in journals such as
International Organization, International Studies Quarterly,
International Feminist Journal of Politics, Security Dialogue and
Human Rights Quarterly and has served as a consultant for the United
Nations. Dr. Carpenter's current research focuses on global agenda-setting, investigating why certain
issues but not others end up on the human security agenda. With funding from
the
National Science Foundation, she is directing a project on
Transnational Advocacy Networks. In addition to teaching and research,
Dr. Carpenter spends her time raising two future members of the American
electorate, surfing, snowboarding, and rambling about international politics
at
Duck of Minerva and asymmetric warfare at Complex Terrain Lab.
