How does gender impact the study of insecurity, particularly that caused by political conflict? How do the state and the military construct norms of femininity and masculinity? This course will draw on interdisciplinary research from political science and international studies as well as from feminist philosophy and gender studies to explore how gender informs our understanding of experiences of insecurity and what security ought to entail.
