Monika has expertise in decolonial approaches in International Relations and her research has been published in the areas of international security, conflict and peacebuilding, fragility and forced migration, including the co-authored book, Militias and the Challenges of Post-Conflict Peace: Silencing the Guns.

During her fellowship Monika will be working on a book entitled “Refugee Narratives in the Global South”, and a thinkpiece on decolonial approaches in Critical Security Studies.
