(English) Gender Security Project - Feminist Foreign Policy: Online Course
Since 2014, 12 countries have adopted Feminist Foreign Policies. However, a lot more needs to be done in prioritizing feminism in feminist foreign policies. While some countries focused on providing aid, some chose to add women and stir. Instead of choosing to engage with feminist values and focusing on intersectionality and peace, these policies continued to normalize "feminism-lite” agendas. In reality, women and non-binary people in the global south have been "doing" feminist foreign policy for generations now. Movements ranging from resisting colonialism to practicing food sovereignty, from inclusive lawmaking to deploying international law in pushing for their rights - the wealth of knowledge embodied in praxis in the majority world must be centered.
As a new field, Feminist Foreign Policies have been the site of much experimentation and there have been sites of discussion and conversation around what it might entail. The gap in knowledge overall also coexists alongside the fact that the majority world has been the site of several examples of Feminist Foreign Policies - but the general notion of not seeing this part of the world as knowledge producers has prevented much of this knowledge from being centered as a norm.
This course recognizes and tries to address these gaps and takes a deep dive into the field to build strong understandings of Feminist Foreign Policy as a concept. It offers a comprehensive overview of feminist foreign policies as they exist, presents the building blocks of such policies, and presents lessons from rich examples from the majority world.
Course Outline
The course will be offered online via Zoom, over Four Saturdays, and will run in June and September 2023. The dates and timings are as follows:
- June 3 / 10 / 17 / 24, 2023
- Sept 9 / 16 / 23 / 30, 2023
Deadline for application: May 25 (June Intake); August 25 (September Intake)
15:00 - 17:00 Hours
