Ingvild Bode is Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of Southern Denmark. She is also the Principal Investigator of an ERC research project on autonomous weapons systems and international norms (AUTONORMS).

Ingvild's research agenda covers the area of peace and security, with a theoretical focus combining practice theories and constructivist International Relations. She is principally interested in analysing processes of policy and normative change, especially in the areas of weaponised Artificial Intelligence, the use of force, United Nations peacekeeping, and more general dynamics of the UN Security Council.

Ingvild has published extensively in these areas, including in journals such as the European Journal of International Relations, Review of International Studies, Global Governance, and International Studies Review. She is the author of Individual Agency and Policy Change at the United Nations (Routledge, 2015) and the co-author of Governing the Use-of-Force: The Post-9/11 US Challenge on International Law (Palgrave, 2014, with Aiden Warren).
