David Murphy
PhD studentResearch Overview
My current research focuses on how queering and queer IR theory interacts with notions of international queer solidarity, and how this can queer our notions of international solidarity. I am currently looking at what a queer British response to queerphobia in Uganda, with a particular focus on the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Acts (2014 and 2023), might look like.
