Dr Kirstin Wagner

I’m a research fellow with the RightsforTime research network, where I explore health-related outcomes of humanitarian protection challenges. I obtained a Ph.D. in History/International Development at the University of Birmingham in 2022. My doctoral research focused on sexual crimes and child abandonment by United Nations peacekeepers in postcolonial states. I’m interested in interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral research that improves knowledge of how women and children are impacted by violence in complex environments and am passionate about mental health research with links to social justice, human rights policy, and practice.
