Johanna Rodehau-Noack

Johanna is an Assistant Professor of International Politics and Security at Fordham University’s Political Science Department. Previously, she was the International Security Postdoctoral Fellow at CISAC, and a Global Innovation Program Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perry World House. She received her PhD in International Relations from the London School of Economics in June 2022. During her doctoral studies, she was an editor of Millennium: Journal of International Studies. She also holds an MA in Political Science and a BA in International Development from the University of Vienna, Austria.

In her research, she is interested in questions around how problems of international politics become to be seen as such in the first place. Johanna pursues these questions with a specific focus on ideas of war and its prevention. Her current work investigates the role of (emerging) technologies in conflict prevention and anticipation, and in particular how they shape ideas of what conflict is, how to recognize it, and how to govern it. Her work has been published or is forthcoming in the European Journal of International Relations, Security Dialogue, Global Studies Quarterly, and International Studies Perspectives, among other outlets.
