I am interested in the body and sexuality as both sites of resistance and objects of security. My research focuses on gender, sexuality, race, and disability in peace, conflict, security, and humanitarianism. Most recently, I have conducted research on the politics of abortion access in Colombia's post-conflict space. I have also worked on the evolution of gendered norms and power relations in displacement; access and attitudes to sexual and reproductive health and rights; LGBTQ+ experiences of conflict, displacement and peacebuilding; sexual and gender-based violence in and out of conflict; gender and disability in humanitarian and post-conflict settings; sex work and sex tourism; and feminist, postcolonial, and queer politics. My research excavates and challenges the notions of gender, sexuality, and violence that are embedded in practices and discourses of security, nationalism, humanitarianism, and development.
I have held positions with the University of Birmingham, the Gender and Development Network, the Gothenburg Centre of Globalization and Development, and Aberystwyth University, as well as consultancies with International Alert, Womankind Worldwide, Christian Aid, the International Campaign to Stop Rape & Gender Violence in Conflict, the Nobel Women's Initiative, United Way Centraide Canada, and ODI.

Books by Megan Daigle
Investigating the lived realities of the Cuban women (and some men) who date tourists and offering a unique perspective on the surrounding debates, From Cuba with Love raises issues about women’s bodies–what they can or should do and, equally, what can be done to them. Daigle’s provocative perspective will make readers question how race and politics in Cuba are tied to women and sex, and the ways in which political power acts directly on the bodies of individuals through law, policing, institutional programs, and social norms.
