Dr. Kiriloi M. Ingram
Dr. Ingram is a postdoctoral research fellow with the Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security at Charles Sturt University. Her research focuses on analysing the gendered dynamics of non-state politically motivated violent groups' propaganda and politico-military strategies. Her doctoral thesis analysed how and why Islamic State propaganda constructs and manipulates gender to target and appeal to transnational audiences. As part of the Contemporary Threats to Australian Society Research Group, she is currently analysing the gender ideologies of right-wing extremist groups and the active roles women play in the extreme right. Professionally, she is the Director of Gender Programming and Reporting with the SCCB Project, where she works as a practitioner developing and implementing gender-sensitive peacebuilding and countering violent extremism programs with civil society actors in Southeast Asian communities infiltrated by violent extremist groups. Her work has particularly focused on supporting the peace process in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), and she has also supported programme development in Raqqa, Syria. Her work aims to equip and empower local women to develop their own strategies to build meaningful peace in their local communities. In 2019, Kiriloi was recognised and appointed as a Pacific Forum Young Leader, and in 2022 Kiriloi was recognised in the Top 20 Young Australian Women to Watch in International Affairs.
