 Women’s participation, inclusion and leadership are integral to building sustainable and peaceful societies. Equally clear, their inclusions is central to the diplomatic, development and military policies of many countries around the world, including the United States. For those seeking careers in international affairs – whether in government, multilateral organizations, civil society, or the private sector – familiarity with the field of women, peace and security, and an understanding of how to mainstream gender across sectors is increasingly important. This module will cover a wide range of topics related to women’s experiences in conflict-affected and post-conflict settings and the impact of their participation in conflict prevention, peacemaking, peacekeeping, mitigating humanitarian emergencies, political transitions, governance, and economic recovery. It will equip students with a strong academic foundation and policy/practice-oriented toolkit for their future professional endeavors.
