Description
Here is an unusual opportunity to break open the concept of security and tackle leadership skills while examining the agency of women in conflicts around the world. Youll study the little understood structure of womens critical role in preventing or stopping violent conflict. Working in groups, youll then formulate concrete policy recommendations for womens full inclusion in formal and informal peace processes. The course bridges theory and practice, providing students with close interaction with inspiring women leaders from conflicts worldwide. In addition, youll receive individual classroom coaching to develop small presentation skills that have a big impact on your leadership. Grades are based on an analytical briefing paper for a policy-maker and a mock policy briefing, small group presentations of conflicts, other writing assignments (e.g. a letter to the editor and personal reflection), and class participation. Role-play, debate, video clips, films, and small group work enrich the learning far beyond readings, lectures, and classroom discussion. Many students describe this course as not only iconoclastic, but transformational. Course meets from 9 a.m.–5 p.m., unless otherwise specified, January 4-17.
