Miriam Mona Mukalazi is a feminist scholar specialising in security policies. Currently, she is a Max Weber Post-Doc Fellow at the EUI where she examines how Eurocentrism manifests itself in feminist foreign policies and how different forms of Eurocentrism relate to each. As a visiting researcher, Mukalazi worked at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and at the Institute for Peace and Security Studies in Addis Ababa.

During her PhD in Political Science at the Heinrich-Heine University in Duesseldorf, Germany, she compared the African Union’s and European Union’s legitimation practices regarding gender, peace, and security policies.

Recent consultancies include the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy, the World Bank as well as the EU Commission. As an expert on feminist security policies, Mukalazi was invited to the Foreign Affairs Committee of the German Bundestag. Before her academic career, she worked at UN Women Germany, specialising in the UN’s Women, Peace and Security agenda.
