Description

What numbers say about what & who's valued in the international system? How diplomacy was constructed since the 1920's as a male institution with heteronormative and homosocial narratives, behaviors and environments? Why do we measure social progress through quantification and representation? Where are the statistics of the non-Western world? 

An invitation to rethink the binary trap - underrepresentation of women and overrepresentation of men in this field.
