  • Gender and War
    Fall 2018 Professor Lisa Baldez 3A 114 Silsby; 646-2655 Dartmouth College [email protected] Berry 370 Ofc hrs: Tues 3-5pm and by appt. Govt 85.38 Gender and War Course Description Historically, the connection between gender and war was considered to be so obvious that few thought to question it. Men make up the vast majority of political decision makers who prosecute wars, and men constitute the vast majority of soldiers who fight wars. In the last few decades, scholars have asked why this is the case and challenged assumptions about how conceptions of masculinity and femininity matter in global conflict. In January 2018, political scientist Carol Cohn wrote an op-ed in the New York Times in which she maintained that “ideas about masculinity and femininity matter in international politics, in national security and in nuclear strategic thinking.” In this seminar, we will delve into the research that explains how gender shapes war, and why it does. We will read some of the classic studies in this field and the most influential research on gender and war in political science in order to understand the ways in which conceptions of gender difference shape the causes and consequences of war. (Western cultures, INT and SOC) Learning Goals By the end of this course, you will be able to • Describe the facts and concepts and arguments made in the assigned readings, verbally and in written form. • Explain, and then critique, the arguments made in the assigned readings, verbally and in written form. • Synthesize the material assigned in class to answer the following questions: o How do scholars define gender and how is it relevant to various aspects of foreign policy and international politics? o What are the gendered causes and consequences of war? o How do scholars define gender and which conceptions do you find most persuasive? • Reflect on the assigned material in order to link it to what you already know and to generate your own perspective.

    122 Politics & Gender 4(1) 2008 Women in International Relations Daniel Maliniak, University of California San Diego Amy Oakes, Susan Peterson, Michael J. Tierney, College of William and Mary DOI: 10.1017/S1743923X08000068 Women now receive political science degrees in record numbers, but female representation among political science faculty still lags behind that of many other disciplines. Only 26% of the 13,000 political science professors in the United States today are women (Sedowski and Brintall 2007). According to our recent survey of international relations faculty in the United States — the 2006 Teaching, Research, and International Politics (TRIP) Survey — women comprise an even smaller proportion of IR scholars: 77% of the IR faculty respondents are men, while only 23% are women.1 Even more than their counterparts in the wider field of political science, women in IR tend to be more junior and less likely to hold tenure than their male colleagues. Women comprise a minority at every level of the profession, but they are most scarce at the full professor level: Only 17% of political science professors and 14% of IR professors are women (Maliniak et al. 2007c; Sedowski and Brintall 2007). Women may be underrepresented in the profession and trail their male colleagues because they see the world differently; they may see the world differently because of their minority status within the discipline; or the causal arrow may run in both directions. Many feminist scholars contend that gender subordination explains significant differences in worldview between men and women. Other scholars suggest that the content of women’s scholarship contributes to their marginalization within the profession: Female political scientists adopt methods and choose topics that are not considered to be the best or most rigorous types of research by the editors of leading journals.2 As a result, “women’s publishing opportunities may be restricted, or ghettoized, to specific and gendered domains” (Mathews and Anderson 2001).

ARCENEAUX A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2019 © 2019 Phillip C. Arceneaux This dissertation is dedicated to my two grandfathers, Harry Arceneaux and Richard “Dick” Hanrahan, both of whom never had a college degree and sadly were never able to see me become Dr. Arceneaux. You were both loved so incredibly much and are missed every single day. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to thank the members of my dissertation committee, Dr. David Ostroff, Dr. Spiro Kiousis, Dr. Jasmine McNealy, Dr. Laura Sjoberg, and Dr. Aida Hozic. As someone who is always interested in stressing interdisciplinary links and relationships in research, this dissertation is truly unique in its perspective, approach, and execution; this was only possible because of the incredible open-mindedness of each one of my committee members and the trust they had in me to go off and do some kind of justice to this research. They truly let me take this dissertation where I wanted to go rather than keeping me in the bumper lanes of what constitutes a “normal” dissertation in mass communication, and for that I am ever grateful. I would also like to thank all of my teachers and mentors in the University of Florida’s College of Journalism and Communication who helped and inspired me throughout my Ph.D.

Although each woman has different reasons to involve in terrorist groups, this research demonstrates 'religious, political and personal' reasons as the major motivating factors. This study also focuses on the question of why women are the targets of terror recruiters.

  • Gender and International Security: Feminist Perspectives
    Gender and International Security This book explores the relationship between gender and international security, analyzing and critiquing international security theory and practice from a gendered perspective. Gender issues have an important place in the international security landscape, but have been neglected both in the theory and practice of international security. The passage and implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (on Security Council operations), the integration of gender concerns into peace- keeping, the management of refugees, post-conflict disarmament, and reinte- gration and protection for non-combatants in times of war show the increasing importance of gender sensitivity for actors on all fronts in global security. This book aims to improve the quality and quantity of conversations between feminist Security Studies and Security Studies more generally, in order to demonstrate the importance of gender analysis to the study of inter- national security, and to expand the feminist research program in Security Studies. The chapters included in this book not only challenge the assumed irrelevance of gender, they argue that gender is not a subsection of Security Studies to be compartmentalized or briefly considered as a side issue. Rather, the contributors argue that gender is conceptually, empirically, and norma- tively essential to studying international security. They do so by critiquing and reconstructing key concepts of and theories in international security, by looking for the increasingly complex roles women play as security actors, and by looking at various contemporary security issues through gendered lenses. Together, these chapters make the case that accurate, rigorous, and ethical scholarship of international security cannot be produced without taking account of women’s presence in or the gendering of world politics.

In the 2003 war in Iraq, Americans saw images of a teenage woman as a war hero, of a female general in charge of a mili- tary prison where torture took place, of women who committed those abuses, of male victims of wartime sexual abuse and of the absence of gender in official government reactions to the torture at Abu Ghraib. I contend that several gendered stories from the 2003 war in Iraq demonstrate three major developments in militarized femininity in the United States: increasing sophistication of the ideal image of the woman soldier; stories of militarized femininity constructed in opposition to the gendered enemy; and evident tension between popular ideas of femininity and women’s agency in violence.

  • Gender and International Relations Fall 2009
    Political Science 4931 Gender and International Relations Fall 2009 Instructor: Dr. Laura Sjoberg Email: [email protected] Office: 206 Anderson Office Hours: Tuesday 11:00-1:30 and by appointment Class Time: 1:55-2:45 (Tuesday), 1:55-3:50 (Thursday) Class Location: Anderson 101 (Tuesday), RNK 110 (Thursday) Phone: 617.875.6653 (do NOT call after midnight) COURSE DESCRIPTION Around the world, despite women’s progress, there continues to be a relatively rigid gender division of labor, between paid and unpaid work, according to economic sector, and along hierarchies. Though women do participate in the political process in most states, they are underrepresented in governments and their decision-making. Around the world, men dominate international security apparatuses and the making and fighting of wars. The global gender order makes possible the global political order. Despite the importance of gender in global politics, gender is still not fully integrated in the academic study of international politics. Feminist approaches are offering new views of a field previously defined as devoid of gender politics. Early IR feminists challenged the discipline to think about how its theories might be reformulated and how its understandings of global politics might be improved if gender were included as a category of analysis and if women’s experiences were part of its subject matter. IR feminists critically reexamined some of the key concepts in the field - concepts such as sovereignty, the state, and security. They began to ask new questions - such as whether it makes a difference that most foreign policy leaders, military personnel and heads of international corporations are men and why women remain relatively disempowered in matters of foreign and military policy.
