The Gender Peace and Security Theme is a cluster of scholars concerned with politics, practice and policy. As a collective we are interested in developing research, theories and projects which include critical approaches to peace and security from an international, interdisciplinary, intersectional and transnational feminist perspective. Our work is primarily concerned with challenging androcentric, militarist and global north perspectives and contributing to knowledge production which accounts for inequalities along lines of gender and geography. We examine peace and security in unassuming sites and locations and work with activists, artists and practitioners. We foster dialogues with policy makers and governance institutions to ensure that perspectives from the margins are heard, and to help shape peaceful and inclusive futures.
