Biography
Kate Perry received her Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Missouri. She completed her MA in International Relations at Western Illinois University and received her BA in Political Science from Monmouth College. She has been at GSU since the fall of 2019.
Dr. Perry specializes in gender and human security in international relations. In her research, Dr. Perry examines the ways in which gender influences and is influenced by global security phenomena within and beyond the traditional concept of military security. Her work has explored Women as decision-makers in positions of leadership, as victims of crime, and as individuals impacted by the foreign policy decisions of typically male decision makers. Her core research goal is to build a body of work that helps to improve the circumstances of girls and Women around the world. Principally, Dr. Perry has focused her research on the topic of human trafficking, a heavily gendered issue that sits at the nexus between human security and gender.
