{"id":6475,"name":"Amanda Chisholm","url":"http:\/\/www.ncl.ac.uk\/gps\/staff\/profile\/amandachisholm","description":"I am an early career academic whose research contributes to the growing field of critical gender studies on private military and security companies (PMSCs).  My research is ethnographic based and documents the experiences of Gurkhas, security migrant workers from the global South with an over 200-year military history with the British. My research, rooted in feminist global political economy (GPE) and feminist critical security studies, has developed the existing critical security research on privatisation of security by offering ethnographic insights into critical security studies from a postcolonial gender framing thereby incorporating race and colonial histories as two important analytics in understanding the globalization of private security.\r\n\r\nI remain motivated by the ways in which race, class and gender intersect and make certain subjectivities possible whilst foreclosing on others. To this end, my future research plans involve examining how global South migrant security labourers negotiate, challenge and resist dominant understandings and representations of themselves in global security. I am committed to researching through intersectionalities of race, class and gender and combining qualitative methodologies.","link":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/militarytomarket\/author\/namc10\/","slug":"namc10","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/6229e9ff5d9d4e3343b52b55eff76321?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/6229e9ff5d9d4e3343b52b55eff76321?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/6229e9ff5d9d4e3343b52b55eff76321?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/militarytomarket\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/militarytomarket\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
