Elizabeth Mesok completed her Ph.D. in American Studies in 2013 and her M.A. in Politics in 2007, both from New York University.

Her current research focuses on women in peacebuilding processes, particularly in programs to prevent and counter violent extremism. She has also written exten-sively on sexual violence within militaries, most recently on male-male sexual violence in the U.S. military. Prior to relocating to Basel in 2016, she held a Visiting Assistant Professorship in the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University, where she taught courses in gender and sexuality studies, social and political theory, and the global history of U.S. militarism. Since having arrived in Switzerland, Mesok has taught Gender and Peacebuilding as a Lecturer in the Department of Political Science at the University of Basel.
