New #Podcast Episode 💜How can we shift from realist to feminist view of an IR case study if we are excluding ourselves from the conversation?

In this episode we explore:

✨What is realist view of the UAE-Israel normalization ties talks? A US Foreign Policy approach.

✨What are the power dynamics at play on the recent development of Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the decentralization of Egypt as key player in the region?

✨What is the long-term vision of the Trump Administration and looming Nobel Peace Prize nomination?

✨Are we seeing the continuity of hegemonic masculinity domination of war and (negative) peace cultures?

✨Why are gender and feminist approaches to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict mainly focusing on dominant-dominated practices in national liberation movements and NOT addressing fully structural gender violence?

✨Where is the analysis on state behaviors and gendered notions of hegemonic masculine power in this part of the world?

✨Where are the women?

✨Why are female IR experts excluding and condemning each other from analyzing high level and male-dominated conflicts?

✨Why do female IR researchers have to talk about controversial case studies in informal and even hidden gatherings?

✨Where are we listening to each other?

✨Which are the public spaces women are opening to each other to recognize and validate their knowledge?

✨Why women have to be honest about their cultural and educational backgrounds in order to analyze IR but we don’t ask or expect male analysts to do the same?
