Course Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This course is designed to deepen your understanding of feminist approaches to peace and security. Following decades of transnational feminist activism, the landmark United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR 2000)\u2014also known as the Women, Peace and Security Agenda (UNSCR 1325, or the WPS Agenda)\u2014 officially recognized women\u2019s experiences of conflict, peace and security and called upon member states to develop action-plans. Twenty-five years later, the global landscape has significantly changed with the rise of anti-gender ideology, intensification of militarization and martial politics, climate catastrophes, and the rise of authoritarianism. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the first half of the course (classes 1-7), we will question how power manifests as the regulation and governance of gendered, queer, and racialised bodies in shifting global landscapes. <\/span>In the second half of the course (classes 8-12), we will explore how you, as a future policy maker, might learn from and with social movements and grassroots communities. How do social movements challenge state and non-state violence in settings of security, denial and silence, and open spaces to (re)imagine and realise peace?\u00a0 How might we center other ways of knowing peace and security?\u00a0 How might feminist care, curiosity and hope lead us to re-imagine the WPS agenda?<\/em> Your assignments are designed to build your own ‘feminist toolkit’ for future policymaking in the field.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
