Bio/Research
Wilke's research examines how Western militaries and human rights organizations produce knowledge about and legal analyses of armed conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria.
She asks how different organizations see, count, and explain civilian casualties from airstrikes and how their assessments are shaped by imperial imaginaries about race and space. She inquires about the role of international law in structuring, constraining, facilitating, and legitimizing violence. Drawing on Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) and critical law & technology scholarship, she asks how international law understands, regulates, and privileges technologically enhanced warfare.
Having a better understanding of the connections between global hierarchies, imperial imaginaries, technologies of violence, and international law can help us make better informed choices in evaluating the role of international law in structuring armed conflict.
