MA (Security and Defence Policy)
| Degrees: | BFA (Security and Defence Policy) |
Noa Ogilvy graduated from Concordia University in 2019 with a BFA in Painting and Drawing, and a double minor in Israel Studies and Chinese Language and Culture. She is currently completing her Master’s degree in International Affairs with a specialization in Security and Defence Policy at NPSIA. Her research interests include the history and politics of Israel and the Middle East, Jewish history, the relationship between feminism and the military, and the historical and contemporary issues surrounding chemical weapons.
In 2018, as an undergraduate student working with Concordia University’s Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies, Noa was commissioned to create a piece for Israel at 70, a joint conference between Concordia University and Ben-Gurion University (https://www.concordia.ca/artsci/research/azrieli-institute/events/israel-at-70/art-installation.html). In 2019, she had two articles published: “Jerusalem of Gold”, published in the Jerusalem Art History Journal: An Undergraduate eJournal (http://jerusalemjournal.concordia.ca/volumes/Jerusalem_Art_History_Journal_An_Undergraduate_eJournal-vol5.pdf), and “Yuri Dojc’s ‘Last Folio’: Cultural Memories of Jewish Life in Slovakia” published in Carleton University’s Newsletter of the Zelikovitz Centre for Jewish Studies (https://carleton.ca/jewishstudies/wp-content/uploads/November-29-19-190-ZC-Newsletter-Online-working-links.pdf).
Noa’s current research for her Master’s Research Paper (MRP) focuses on chemical weapons history and the Holocaust. Her research question asks: why is the Holocaust excluded from chemical weapons history, and what does this exclusion mean for the success of the chemical weapons taboo?
Her research is supervised by Professor David Mendeloff
