We invite researchers to submit paper proposals based on their work in progress on topics related to gender, peace and security–both the official UN discourse around UN Security Council 1325 as well as issues raised by feminist security studies scholars and women’s peace movements. The adoption of National Action Plans, the implementation of the four pillars, challenges of implementation and the potential for broad-based advocacy are possible topics. Research that queers the gender, peace and security area is also welcome.
We are also interested in the role of gender and gender politics in conflict resolution and conflict transformation. Possible topics include the participation and role of women in specific peace processes, official and unofficial, as well as the implementation of Resolution 1325. Feminist approaches to conflict transformation in specific “Global South” contexts are also welcome.
