Béatrice Châteauvert-Gagnon holds a PhD in International Relations from the University of Sussex (UK). She has also completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Feminist Research at York University (Canada) and a postdoctoral knowledge outreach programme at the Research Center for Social Innovation and Transformation at St-Paul University.

Her research is located at the intersections between International Relations, Security Studies, and Gender and Sexuality studies. It explores courageous truth-speaking practices as a form of political dissidence in relation/reaction to global issues of security, violence, justice, and protection. Her current research project looks at collective truth-speaking to power on social media, namely the #metoo and the #tradwives movements, to assess the resistive potential and limitations of such practices in a polarized digital era.

Dr. Châteauvert-Gagnon has also occupied numerous teaching positions in colleges and universities around Quebec, Canada, and the UK. Alongside academia, she has a considerable experience in the non-profit sector where she has worked for many years in assault prevention, feminist self-defense, and restorative justice.
