Fixing Gender: The Paradoxical Politics of Training Peacekeepers
Hosted by Department of Gender Studies and Department of International Relations
Join us for the launch of Aiko Holvikivi’s Fixing Gender: The Paradoxical Politics of Training Peacekeepers. This new book examines how gender is conceptualised, taught, and learned in peacekeeping situations, and with what political effects. Dr Holvikivi will provide introductory comments on the book, and panellists will offer their reflections on the topic, with the opportunity to participate in a Q&A afterwards.
