Feminist Approaches to Global Grassroots Peacebuilding

This February 23, 2021, roundtable discussion highlighted feminist scholarship on women’s grassroots political mobilizations against violence and oppression. The research projects discussed seek to make women visible as political actors engaged in the transformation of oppressive structures, building the community infrastructure necessary to support peace. These projects demonstrate the centrality of feminist theory for enriching our understanding of transformative approaches to grassroots peacebuilding.

Panelists included: Beatriz Juárez Rodríguez, Assistant Professor, Carleton University; Cerue Konah Garlo, Senior Gender Specialist, The Carter Center; Lisa McLean, Visiting Research Fellow, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies; and Erin Corcoran, Executive Director, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies (Moderator).
