Norma is a Senior Lecturer in Defence and International Affairs at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Her research interests lie at the intersection between political theory, international political sociology, and postcolonialism with a specific focus on war and security. She has published on the political character of organised crime and its relation to statebuilding, the impact of counter-organised crime measures on states’ practices and discourses on security, the changing character of war, and the value of higher education in conflict resolution.
Norma is passionate about bridging research and teaching and she has co-designed and delivered International Conflict Management courses to civilian and security officials in North Africa, the Middle East, South America, the Balkans, and the Caucasus, where she also conducted field research. She is co-founder and Series Editor of the Sandhurst Trends in International Conflict (Howgate Publishing).
