Biography

Laurie Georges is a PhD candidate specializing in International Relations and Comparative Politics. Her dissertation examines systemic pressures to erase non-core identity groups in states, and how erasure perpetuates itself in the modern international system. She employs qualitative methods such as discourse analysis, process-tracing, and archival research to substantiate her structural theory rooted in socio-psychological micro-level mechanisms. Her broader research interests include protracted conflict, international order, ontological security, the construction of ignorance, and nationalism, with regional focuses in the Middle East and the Caucasus. Her research has been funded by the Mershon Center for International Security Studies, and is forthcoming in the Nationalities Papers.

Prior to joining OSU, Laurie earned her BA at Sciences Po Paris after a year-exchange at the University of Oxford, and a Master in International Relations at the Graduate Institute of Geneva.
