The seminar will focus on the intersection between the areas of gender, conflict and peace. We will engage in academic work (including articles, reports and podcast episodes) and read texts from certain contemporary feminist scholars to understand the notion of gender and discuss it as a particular kind of power relation. Gender plays a complex role in the patterns of conflict and peace. We will probe the dynamics of gender in conflict and peace. Looking over them through the gender lens, we will unfold different harms of women, men and LGBT+, the consequences for the different gender identities in transitional justice and peacebuilding processes.
The seminar will provide students to get familiar with three specific sub-topics:
- Gender in feminist theory
- Wartime violence and post-conflict process
- Women and LGBT+’s agency in conflict and peace

| Bemerkung |
Wer die erste Sitzung der Lehrveranstaltung versäumt, ohne sich vorher schriftlich oder persönlich zu entschuldigen, kann den Anspruch auf einen Platz in der LV verlieren, wenn es mehr Interessenten als Plätze gibt. Dies gilt ungeachtet der Platzzuweisung durch Friedolin und ist im Einklang mit der grundsätzlichen Aufhebung der Anwesenheitspflicht. |
