Bio/Research
Miriam Anderson is a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Women, Peace and Security at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) for the 2022-2023 academic year while on sabbatical. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in Politics and International Studies and a B.A. (International Relations) and M.A. (Political Science) from the University of British Columbia. She researches non-state actors in international security, specializing in women’s participation in peace processes and post-conflict politics. She is currently completing two Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC)-funded projects, the first of which explores the impact of gender-inclusive peace negotiations on women’s political influence in post-conflict politics and the second which follows a transnational women’s peace activist group following the collapse of a peace process. In addition, she is currently co-editing a special issue of International Negotiation with Galia Golan (Hebrew University) on women and Track I civil war peace negotiations.
Anderson has published two books: Windows of Opportunity: How Women Seize Peace Negotiations (Oxford University Press, 2016) and Transnational Actors in War and Peace: Militants, Activists, and Corporations in World Politics (Georgetown University Press, 2017) eds. with David Malet. Her work has also been published in Politics & Gender, Journal of Refugee Studies, Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding, and Commonwealth and Comparative Politics. In addition, she has held visiting scholar positions at the Institute for African Studies, Elliot School for International Affairs, George Washington University; Institute of Development Policy and Management, University of Antwerp; and the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University.
From 1999-2002, Dr. Anderson served as a human rights monitor for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Mission to the Republic of Croatia. During this period, she also monitored elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia for the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR). In addition, Anderson has volunteered with grassroots organizations in Nicaragua and El Salvador.
