Gender and Peace Processes in a Changing World
Affiliation
This five-week online course for peacebuilding professionals provides an overview of the latest developments in the field of gender, peace and security, with a focus on gender inclusive peace processes in a rapidly changing world.
As complex conflicts frequently involve multiple actors across local, national, and geopolitical levels of conflict, this course examines how peacebuilders can understand and engage with peace initiatives with a gender lens, and experiment with PeaceTech tools to learn how women and gender perspectives can be included in peace processes and their agreements. The course will introduce students to the women, peace and security agenda, inclusive peace processes in theory and practice, and gender perspectives in peace agreements.
This five-week course is led by Laura Wise, a Research Fellow with PeaceRep at Edinburgh Law School. The course consists of self-contained, online learning delivered via a custom-designed learning environment, accompanied by weekly online interactive class discussions with other students and the course lead.
This course is non-credit bearing
