Catherine Eschle is a British political scientist, scholar, feminist and researcher who is best known for her research which centres around the concepts of feminism, resistance, intersectionality, social movements, gender-politics, democracy, and International Relations.
Finally, Eschle earned a Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) in social and political thought from the University of Sussex in 1999.
In addition to her work at the University of Strathclyde, Eschle guest-lectures at Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt in Austria where she focuses on social movements and theories in gender studies.
Eschle further classifies her research into two categories: “Engendering protest camps” and “Gender Feminism and (Anti-) Nuclear Politics in the post–cold war world.”[3] Through “Engendering protest camps,” Eschle examines “the protest camp phenomenon from a feminist perspective.”[3] Eschle's work regarding this topic has been published in numerous journals (such as International Feminist journal of Politics, Security Dialogue and Social Movement Studies).
Additionally, Eschle examines the connection between feminist work and anti-nuclear activism in the post–cold war world, and the impact of gender on nuclear politics.
