Julia Carver is a Research Fellow and DPhil candidate in International Relations, under the supervision of Dr. Robert Johnson and Professor Dominic Johnson. Her research is jointly funded by the Grand Union DTP (Economic and Social Research Council) and Nuffield College. It explores the interplay between geopolitical strategic thought, sovereignty, and the development of cybersecurity policy by the European Union. Her project expands upon the research she had undertaken while reading for the MPhil in European Politics and Society programme (at Oxford’s DPIR), for which she graduated with Distinction. 

Prior to graduate studies at Oxford, Julia obtained a BA (Hons. with Distinction) in Political Studies and World Language Studies at Queen’s University (Canada), as the recipient of a major national scholarship.

At present, she leads the Cyber Strategy and Information Operations Working Group for graduate students, facilitated by the Changing Character of War Centre and based at Nuffield College. She hopes that her research and the output of the Working Group will be directly useful for policymakers seeking to address policy challenges related to cybersecurity and foreign policy.
