Peace, War, and Social Conflict Panel Session: Gender, Militaries, and Conflict
Sun, August 9, 8:00 to 9:30am, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
This session explores relations between gender, military organization, and conflict in their various dimensions. Papers on this panel discuss a variety of crucial topics: 1) war and gender safety nets in the military; 2) gender and the experience of civil war in Lebanon; 3) gender identity and marriage in the military; 4) women’s gains in the American military and persistent challenges to their opportunities; and gender and the role of women fights in north Syria. Across all papers, gender is not a static construct, but if it is not eternal, it still has a degree of durability, and our papers provide some insights into this change and durability.
