Sidra Hamidi’s research and teaching interests are in international law, global governance, and nuclear politics. She was previously a Stanton Nuclear Security Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University and previously taught at Eckerd College and Stetson University in Florida. Her book, After Fission: Recognition and Contestation in the Atomic Age, is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press and explores the politics of recognition in the nuclear programs of Israel, India, and Iran. Her classes focus on key ethical, legal, and governance challenges in world politics and analyze enduring questions—What are the origins of the modern international system? Why do states go to war? Does international law constrain state behavior? —among many others. Her courses also explore specific themes such as the interactions between technological change and political institutions with a specific focus on the physical, political, and normative changes brought on by the introduction of nuclear technology. Her pedagogy is focused on teaching students how to think, not what to think.
