The School of Politics at the
University of Surrey hosts a conference for all postgraduate researchers with
an interest in gender and international security.
This one day
conference, funded in part by the British International Studies Association
Postgraduate Network (BISA-PGN), draws together postgraduate scholars from
across the discipline of International Relations to examine the role of gender
and power in shaping the production of dominant narratives in security studies,
by addressing three themes:women in the military; gender and nuclear non-proliferation regimes;
gender and security institutions. The conference provides an
opportunity to discuss your research and network with researchers interested in
issues relating to gender and security studies. Along with
opportunities for peer-reviewed publication.
The conference will
also include a ‘Getting Published’ question and answer session with Professor David Galbreath (University
of Bath), Editor of European Security. With advice on the publication process
and the specific challenges facing feminist researchers.
