Dr. Sophia Dingli

Biography

Sophia Dingli joined the School of Social and Political Science in September 2016 as a Lecturer in International Relations. She received her PhD in Politics from the University of Hull in 2013. Prior to joining Glasgow, Sophia worked as a Research Teaching Fellow at the University of Hull, where she taught across various programs in Politics and International Relations. She has also served as a Teaching Associate at the University of Nottingham and worked as a Project Manager at the University of Hull. Sophia's research interests lie at the intersection of Political Theory and International Relations. Much of her research draws upon post-colonial, feminist, post-modern, and neo-Kantian realist perspectives in international political theory, aiming to refine the concept of silence within both domestic and international contexts. Her work provides a clear definition and explores the implications of silence in the international order. Additionally, Sophia extends her research to new methodologies in International Relations theory, fostering cross-disciplinary dialogues. She has conducted extensive archival research on British colonial history in Yemen and has written extensively on Yemeni political history, particularly in relation to current events and the ongoing war and peace processes. Her publications address themes of Gender and Security and contribute to broader debates on peace theory, especially regarding realist intervention and liberal peace strategies, supported by recent experiences in Yemen.
