Biography

Joseph Haigh is a Teaching Fellow in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick. He holds a PhD in Politics and International Studies, as well as an MA in International Security and a BA in Politics and International Studies from the same institution. His research spans the areas of political psychology, particularly focusing on the vicarious experiences of military history and the narratives that emerge in British political discourse, especially regarding memory and identity in connection to historical wars. His doctoral thesis explored how the emphasis on genealogical connections to past conflicts serves to mitigate contemporary anxieties related to militarism, while also asserting a sense of entitlement in global affairs. Haigh's work not only addresses historical aspects but also investigates current public perceptions of militarism and lawfare, particularly in relation to the British armed forces. He engages students extensively, offering modules on U.S. Foreign Policy and supervising dissertations on critical issues in international security.
