Dissertation defended. Doctorate done. Delighted!

A couple weeks ago I defended my PhD dissertation – Justice and Inclusion in Global Politics: Victim Representation and the International Criminal Court – before the eminent panel of Richard Price and Mark Warren (my co-supervisors), Michael Byers (committee member), UBC examiners Erin Baines and James Stewart, and external examiner Jan Aart Scholte. It was a pleasure to discuss my research with this group, and to address their incisive and thought-provoking questions. And it was a pleasure to be done!

To give you a sense of my relief to be completed my PhD, see as exhibits the following two pictures.

#1: November 20, uploading doctoral dissertation with last ounce of strength.

#2: January 13, outside UBC Faculty of Graduate Studies, dissertation defended and ready to celebrate with Elin.

Now, off to new things: postdoctoral research at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Ethics and Department of Political Science.
