Outrage/Action: Leveraging Passion in Gender Research, Theory and Practice will cultivate spirited conversation and debate on the intersections of gender and conflict in research and practice. Building from our positions as scholar/practitioners, we will consider how outrage towards injustice, violence and marginalization can fuel our efforts to promote meaningful change.
Substantial groundwork for changing how we think and work with gender and conflict issues has already been laid: a slate of international conventions, laws and networks now exist to promote attention to gender issues as key dimensions of conflict. Virtually all major international organizations dedicated to conflict prevention and resolution incorporate a gendered perspective into their projects. Yet much more remains to be done to bridge the gaps between theoretical innovations and practical commitments, and to create gendered frameworks for analysis and action that can move gender from the margins to the center of our work on conflict.
This conference will bring together researchers, practitioners, theorists, artists, and activists to consider how we can energize the field of conflict resolution with innovative theories, research approaches and practice frameworks. We hope you will join us to engage with the controversies, complexities and tensions that drive our passion!
