Associate ProfessorDanielle Chubb

I am passionate about teaching, and have designed and currently teach two popular units within the International Relations undergraduate major.

AIR102 War, Terrorism and Humanitarian Responses (Trimester 2) is a level 1 (first year) unit that introduces students to the changing nature of security, as well as the way state and non-state actors respond to insecurity. Students first study key concepts in international security: power and conflict. We examine debates about the changing nature of warfare and the role of political violence and terrorism in the international system. Following this, students consider the effect of contemporary conflict and political violence on the individuals caught up in the violence, including questions around human security: humanitarian intervention, health, aid, and development and security.

The unit is designed to help students think, talk and write about conflict, insecurity and responses to it in an informed and critical manner.

AIR247 Activists in World Politics (Trimester 1) is a level 2 elective unit that examines the ways in which, in a turbulent and interconnected world, people look beyond the state to make sense of the world and bring about change. In the first part of this unit, students study the conceptual frameworks that have developed to make sense of these non-state actors and their influence in world politics. These concepts, around strategies, the spread of ideas, effectiveness, state-activist interaction and the politics of representation, are then applied to the practice of international relations through a series of case studies in the second part of the unit, where students will hear first-hand about experiences of activism from a range of guest lecturers.
