Carrie Reiling
My research focuses on the tensions between peacebuilding, security, and development in global governance initiatives to address women's needs in the Global South. New projects build upon this, using feminist political ecology to explore questions of governance and policy around environmental concerns. I also write about feminist and interpretive research methodologies. Additionally, I am the Academic Network Coordinator of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) and the Competitive Fellowships Coordinator at 蜜桃传媒.

I teach in the areas of international organizations, international political economy, gender, African politics, peace and conflict, global environmental politics, and humanitarianism. Politics and lived experiences are intertwined, so I encourage students to apply politics to their own experiences. I practice a feminist participatory pedagogy that pushes students to acknowledge their assumptions about themselves and about international politics to promote awareness of the richness and complexity of political issues, cultures, and groups. I aim to lead students to understand the actors and mechanisms in international politics and to develop knowledge and empathy as citizens in a globalized world. My classroom is open and inclusive, and I adapt my teaching techniques to students鈥� diverse learning styles and backgrounds while cultivating their interest about the world. Furthermore, I design my classes with students鈥� interests in mind to ground their knowledge in an understanding that politics is embedded in the world around them.
