Join the Security Gender and Development Institute (SGDI) and Women In International Security (WIIS) on Thursday, May 13th at 11 am EST for a conversation with Dr. Chantal de Jonge Oudraat, where we will discuss the importance of gender dimensions in international security studies. This event will be of particular interest and importance for academics and young professionals.
De Jonge Oudraat’s recent book, The Gender & Security Agenda: Strategies for the 21st Century, examines ten traditional and non-traditional issue areas, focusing on how gender affects security and how security problems affect gender issues. Often gender is overlooked in security studies and in practice. But how can this be remedied, and why should it be incorporated?
This event will highlight Dr. de Jonge Oudraat’s career as a scholar and practitioner of gender and international security by discussing her recent book and the status of gender in international security studies as it stands today, with a focus on bridging the gap between academia and policy.
The Event will be held in English, with live translation in Spanish. |
