Rachael Squire is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London. Broadly, her research is situated within Feminist Geopolitics and explores a range of areas including territory, oceans, earth futures, and the Cold War.

Rachael has published in a range of journals alongside a monograph, Cold War Geopolitics: Sealab, Science, and the Cold War (Rowman and Littlefield, 2021) and a co-authored textbook Political Geography: Approaches, Concepts, Futures (Sage, 2023).

Most recently, Rachael has been part of a team exploring precarity in UK HE geography. The States of Precarity project (with RGS-IBG) shed light on experiences of precarity across career stages, resulting in a report and set of best practices resources to enable change in the discipline and wider sector.
