Teaching
Research
Corinna Mullin is a Lecturer in Comparative and International Politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), with reference to the Middle East. Her current research involves comparative international political theory and considers Islamist and Western discourse on peace, war, justice, and sovereignty. Ms. Mullin also researches US foreign policy towards the Middle East as well as identity politics.
Corinna Mullin started out at SOAS in September 2008 as an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Politics and International Studies.
Originally from the United States, Dr Mullin-Lery moved to Geneva to work for an International NGO in 2000. In 2002 she moved to London to study at the London School of Economics (LSE), Department of International Relations, where she completed her PhD in 2007.
Dr Mullin has taught seminars and lectured on various topics, including International Relations Theory, Politics of the Middle East, Islam and the West, Human Rights and International Relations of the Middle East. She currently teaches courses on Government and Politics of the Middle East, Political Society of the Middle East and Islam and Politics at SOAS.
Dr Mullin is currently working on finishing her book entitled: ‘Constructing Political Islam as the New Other: America and its Post-War on Terror Politics’, which will be published by I.B. Tauris in the fall. In it, Dr Mullin examines the epistemological, historical and ideological roots and manifold contemporary expressions of the discourse on political Islam in the US. She also demonstrates how this discourse has come to perform both an identity- constructing/affirming role, as well as a politically expedient, rhetorical justificatory function in mainstream political thought and action vis-à-vis the Muslim world.
