Julia Carver
I am a DPhil candidate in International Relations, under the supervision of Dr Robert Johnson and Professor Dominic Johnson. My research explores dynamics of foreign policy decision-making towards the cyber and digital domains, including the interplay between geopolitical strategic thought, great power competition, sovereignty, and the development of cybersecurity policy. Informed by my background in political science, my work engages across disciplines (strategic studies, IR, development studies, and political geography) and seeks to understand the evolution of 'cyber-IR' and strategic thinking in the contemporary 'information age'. My research is jointly funded by the Grand Union DTP (Economic and Social Research Council) and Nuffield College. This DPhil project builds upon my studies as an MPhil in the European Politics and Society programme (at Oxford’s DPIR), for which I received a Distinction classification.
Beyond my PhD research, l am a Special (Stipendiary) Lecturer in Politics for Magdalen College, teaching International Relations and the Practice of Politics, and the Content Manager for the European Cyber Conflict Research Initiative. I founded the Cyber Strategy and Tech Statecraft Working Group in 2021, which is still hosted at Nuffield College and led by Elisabeth Siegel.
Recently, l had the pleasure of attending the European Summer Workshop on the Analysis of Military Operation and Strategy (Euro-SWAMOS) in July 2022, run by the European Initiative for Security Studies and the Hertie Centre for International Security (Berlin). Prior to graduate studies at Oxford, I obtained a BA (Honours with Distinction) in Political Studies and World Language Studies at Queen’s University, in Canada, as the recipient of a major national scholarship and four subject prizes in politics and German language studies.
