Location
Virtual Session via MS Teams
Time
17:00 - 18:00

Madison Clark will deliver a presentation titled, “Si vis pacem, para bellum: Everyday women, militarised behaviours, and opportunistic gendered violence” 

Positioned at an intersection of gender, security, military, and conflict studies, Madison's project draws parallels between everyday women's behaviours and those of formally militarised combatants.  Madison utilizes feminist theory, original survey data, and experimental autoethnography to illustrate how, while in public spaces, women act as soldiers out of concern for opportunistic gendered violence. 

 Please register with mitchell.institute@qub.ac.uk by noon on 20 October to participate.  A meeting link will be sent to you before the event.
