Prof. Monika Gabriela Bartoszewicz

Monika Gabriela Bartoszewicz is Professor of Societal Security at the Institute of Technology and Safety, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, and holds a PhD in International Relations from the University of St Andrews. Her research asks how political communities decide what threatens them, whom they are protecting when they act, and what those two decisions make permissible. The work is comparative by construction and qualitative by nature, across national security documents in Estonia and Czechia, NATO burden-sharing in four member states, immigration policy in Germany and Hungary, labour law reform in Kuwait and Qatar, and climate adaptation governance in Arctic Norway. Fieldwork has taken her to Taiwan, where she held a Taiwan Fellowship at the Institute for National Defense and Security Research, to southern Thailand, and across the Canadian Arctic and Alaska. She wrote Terrorist Manifestos: From Words to Violence (Palgrave Macmillan, 2026), co-edits the Routledge Handbook of Catastrophic Imaginaries (2027), and is writing My Precious, in development with Central European University Press. She leads directs Global Security project, a partnership with Stellenbosch University. Fourteen peer-reviewed publications have been written with her own students, which is the part of the record she values most.
