Projects
She is PI of the project, "Sexual Transgressions in Aid: Humanitarian Perceptions and Responses" (STAid), funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. STAid explores how humanitarian actors perceive and respond to sexual transgressions in the context of power and inequality inherent in humanitarianism. Working with major Danish organizations, STAid focuses on the plurality of perspectives about what 'counts' as transgressive behavior, which influence decisions to report. With interdisciplinary perspectives from philosophy, organizational theory, and anthropology, STAid focuses on organizational concepts of responsibility; accounts of unsafe spaces by international aid workers who returned from postings; and local perceptions of transgressions and digital response in the field.
