Katherine (Katie) Mann is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Politics at Washington and Lee University. Her research explores questions at the intersection of peace and conflict, international development, democracy, and gender politics. She has conducted extensive fieldwork in Colombia, studying how rebel organizations govern gender relations and sexual violence within their ranks and among civilian populations under their control. Building on this work, she is developing her second book project, “Grammars of Gendered Violence and Control in Colombia,” which examines how and why rebel organizations regulate gender-based violence and broader gender relations during civil war. Her first book, Aiding Empowerment: Democracy Promotion and Gender Equality in Politics (Oxford University Press, 2024, with Saskia Brechenmacher), analyzes international aid for women’s empowerment in politics. Her research and commentary have been published by Oxford University Press and in policy outlets including Foreign Policy and Just Security. Mann received her PhD from the University of Cambridge as a Cambridge Trust Scholar.
