Helen Berents Author & Editor

Helen Berents is a lecturer in the School of Justice at Queensland University of Technology, Australia. Helen’s research is centrally concerned with representations of youth in political events, and engagement with the lived experiences of violence-affected young people with a particular focus on Latin America. More broadly, she is interested in questions of how people are rendered insecure by institutions of authority and power, how young people are politicised but not seen as political, and how feminist methodologies open space to find the everyday within these explorations. Her work has been published in journals including International Feminist Journal of Politics, Peacebuilding, Critical Studies on Security, and Signs.
