As an associate professor, Simpson has demonstrated her ability for interdisciplinary and peace-related research, including as Principal Investigator for the above $41,000 project on ‘NATO and Nuclear Weapons’ (funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council) and co-founder of the Canadian Forum on Global Security, an innovative network that was one of the leading national hubs for the interdisciplinary study of international security. This experience was brought to bear in building research networks within the Pugwash international movement, across Canada and with international partners. As part of her work with PNND, she also works with leading figures in the disarmament movement like Baronness Sue Miller [Member of the UK House of Lords], Dr. Hedy Fry [MP for Vancouver], Rob van Riet, Disarmament Program Coordinator for the World Future Council and Alyn Ware, Global Coordinator, Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament.
