Biography

Jennifer Greenburg is Assistant Professor of International Relations at the University of Sheffield in the UK. She is a feminist political geographer working on areas of war, gender, and humanitarianism. Her first book, At War with Women: Military Humanitarianism and Imperial Feminism in an Era of Permanent War (Cornell University Press, 2023), reveals how post-9/11 politics of gender and development have transformed US military power. Another dimension of her work is grounded in Haiti, where she is concerned with the violence and securitized legacy of humanitarian interventions. She holds a PhD in Geography from the University of California, Berkeley and has held fellowships at Stanford University and the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University. She is a contributor to the Costs of War project and her recent publications appear in Antipode, Critical Military Studies, Development and Change, and Gender, Place, and Culture.

Deserted: The U.S. Military's Sexual Assault Crisis as a Cost of War

Published : August 14, 2024

Political geographer Jennifer Greenburg notes that, over the past decade, the U.S. military has implemented policies to promote gender equality, notably lifting the ban on women in combat roles in 2013 and opening all military jobs to women by 2016. Yet, Dr. Greenburg shows, even as U.S. military policy reforms during the “War on Terror” appear to reflect greater equality, violent patterns of abuse and misogyny continued within military workplaces.

“Bad Papers”: The Invisible and Increasing Costs of War for Excluded Veterans

Published : June 20, 2017

One of the most invisible and devastating costs of the post 9/11 wars for United
States veterans is the denial of benefits and services to a growing portion of former service
members who are most in need of support.
