Dr Hannah West
Hannah is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre of Excellence for Equity in Uniformed Public Services and Centre for Military Women's Research at Anglia Ruskin University and Senior Programme Officer for the Female Veterans Transformation Programme. Her inter-disciplinary research employs creative methods to explore military cultures/behaviours, women’s military history and counterinsurgency/human security. She draws on her lived experience as a former Royal Navy Air Engineer. Hannah's research on Northern Ireland came out of her PhD where she looked at women as combatants on covert and conventional operations. She has since continued to work with former servicewomen from the Women's Royal Army Corps, Ulster Defence Regiment and Royal Ulster Constabulary, exploring their experiences of the 'front line' in Northern Ireland to inform a feminist retelling of the conflict.
