Gender in Peace and Conflict

The course offers practical and analytical tools to how gender-sensitivity can be integrated into the field of development, conflict and peace. It aims to give a thorough understanding of the crucial role of gender and intersectionality in understanding conflict and violence, but also peacebuilding and human rights. Therefore, gender-sensitive conflict analysis, project planning, evaluation and monitoring as well as violence response mechanisms are central parts of the course by working on real live case studies from the participants.

Through interactive methods the course explores critically how power hierarchies, colonial continuities and our own (gendered) identities and positionalities as peacebuilders matters in working with communities in peacebuilding and development settings. Furthermore, international policy and legal instruments supporting gender equality, such as the Women, Peace and Security Agenda and newly emerging frameworks of feminist foreign policy are introduced and discussed.
