I am a researcher in Feminist War Studies and an Associate Senior Lecturer at the Department of War Studies at the Swedish Defence University (Sweden). Previously, I was a Vinnova/Marie Curie/SSHRC postdoctoral fellow at Lund University’s Department of Political Science (Sweden), and I completed my Ph.D. with excellence at the Université du Québec à Montréal (Canada, 2022) in Political Science and Feminist Studies. I am also actively involved in the activities of the Fundación Lüvo collective (Colombia, Canada), which is committed to the formulation of feminist and anti-racist projects, as well as the publication of the Revista Lüvo. I have more than 10 years of experience in research and gender consultancy with NGOs, civil society organizations, universities, as well as feminist and women’s collectives.
Research focus
My research focuses on embodied and emotional processes in contemporary wars and post-war settings, with a particular emphasis on the post-disarmament militancy of women ex-combatants. Most recently, my research has mainly focused on two specific armed conflicts, the cases of Nepal and Colombia, analyzing the political militancy of women ex-combatants during and in the aftermath of leftist armed struggles in those two countries. As such, my research areas are mainly located at the intersection of War and Gender Studies in the field of Feminist International Relations. You can consult my current projects on my website (priscyllanctil.com).
Supervision
I am interested in supervising students researching in War Studies, Feminist Security Studies and International Relations more broadly. In those fields, I mostly engage with poststructural, decolonial and intersectional approaches to methods, pedagogies and activism. Especially, I would be happy to have conversations on topics related to embodiment and emotions in wars, DDR processes, leftist insurgencies, revolutionary involvement of women and non-binary people, and Colombian politics. Please get in touch with me, and we can have a coffee to discuss common interests in research!
