Podcast appearances and mentions of Cynthia Enloe

Women's wars are not men's wars. This is the first lesson of Cynthias Enloe's Twelve Feminist Lessons of War (U California Press, 2023): the lack of attention paid to women during war not only obscures their experiences but also prevents a full understanding of war and its effects. Wartime shapes women's lives and also the gendered politics of issues such as domestic relationships and childcare, labor and economic mobility, political rights and participation, violence, and much more. By paying attention to the lives of women during war, Enloe shows what women can teach us about war. And in Twelve Feminists Lessons of War it's not just the lessons about war themselves are feminist.  This book also tells lessons from feminist activists and how they have responded to war, whether it is being fought in their backyard or by their state's military tens of thousands of miles away. Drawn from insights gained during her long career researching and writing about women during war and the gendered politics of war, Enloe presents a dozen lessons to be learned about women's lives during war and how we can shorten or even prevent wars by paying attention to women's experiences. Cynthia Enloe is Research Professor in the Department of International Development, Community and Environment at Clark University where she also has affiliations in the Women's and Gender Studies and Political Science departments. Professor Enloe researches, writes, and teaches about the politics of gender in the US and globally.

Research in political science shows that collections and textbooks often mention race, gender, ethnicity, and religion – but they don't consistently use those lenses to understand politics. In Understanding Comparative Politics: An Inclusive Approach (CQ Press, 2024), Dr. Lisa A. Baglione creates a new kind of textbook that puts issues of race, gender, ethnicity, and religion into context and encourages critical thinking about world regions and individual countries through the lens of current events such as social justice movements and the COVID-19 pandemic. She helps readers make personal connections and actively learn and explore through maps, data, theory, and reflection questions. Dr. Lisa A. Baglione is a professor of Political Science at Saint Joseph's University who has conducted research in five areas over the course of her career. While they are varied, she has benefited from integrating insights from each: negotiations between adversaries, authoritarian transformation, peacebuilding, gender in politics, and pedagogy. Many listeners will be familiar with Dr. Baglione's Writing a Research Paper in Political Science: A Practical Guide to Inquiry, Structure, and Methods published by CQ Press. The book is in its 4th edition with a 5th edition in the works. She co-authored “'Pale, Male, and Stale?' An Analysis of Introductory Readers in Political Science” with Becki Scola and Laura Bucci. During our conversation Lisa mentions: Research on gender published by U of I (meaning Indiana) by Ekaterina M. Levintova and Alison Kathryn Staudinger Gender in the Political Science Classroom. Valerie Hudson, Donna Lee Bowen, and Perpetua Lynn Nielson, First Political Order: How Sex Shapes Governance & National Security Worldwide (New York: Columbia U Press, 2021) and Cynthia Enloe, Seriously: Investigating Crashes and Crises as if Women Mattered (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2013).

Professor Cynthia Enloe is a Research Professor in the Department of Sustainability and Social Justice at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. Cynthia is one of the leading voices on gender and militarism, as well as one of the main proponents of feminist international relations. With fifteen published books and numerous awards to her name, Cynthia is a passionate lecturer and activist, dedicated to raising awareness about how feminist and gendered perspectives have shaped both national and international political discourse. Her contribution to advancing gender justice in international politics has been recognised by the inclusion on the Gender Justice Legacy Wall unveiled at the International Criminal Court at The Hague. Our conversation was inspired by her latest book, Twelve Feminist Lessons of War, which urges us to contemplate and maintain curiosity about the diverse realities of women's wartime lived realities. In a world marked by conflict, Cynthia emphasises the need to acknowledge that “women's wars are not men's wars” as a foundation for building enduring peace. This principle serves as the starting point for our conversation on the gendered experiences of war, hierarchies of femininities and masculinities, and the importance of transnational feminist solidarity. Cynthia can be found here: https://www.clarku.edu/faculty/profiles/cynthia-enloe/ We discussed: • Twelve Feminist Lessons of War (London: Footnote Press; Berkeley: University of California Press), 2023. • Bananas, Beaches and Bases: Making Feminist Sense of International Politics (Berkley: University of California Press), 2014. • The Curious Feminist: Searching for Women in a New Age of Empire (Berkley: University of California Press), 2004. • Maneuvers: The International Politics of Militarizing Women's Lives (Berkley: University of California Press), 2000.

Professor Cynthia Enloe (Clark University - @ClarkUniversity) speaks with the Thinking Global team about Feminist International Relations and her new book 'Twelve Feminist Lessons of War', available from University of California Press and Footnotes Press. Thinking Global is affiliated with ⁠⁠⁠E-International Relations⁠⁠⁠ - the world's leading open access website for students and scholars of international politics.

In this episode, we discuss the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Agenda and disarmament – two major areas of work for us at WILPF. What is the WPS agenda, what is meant by disarmament, and how do they relate to one another? Why should those who are working on women's leadership care about curbing militarization, and what does gender have to do with disarmament and arms control? Cynthia Enloe, Maritza Chan Valverde, and Sylvie Ndongmo talk about the connections between these two areas, as well as the gaps and challenges to filling them in on this foundational episode in the series.

In light of the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, we examine how narratives of war shape how we see and experience conflict. Stance explores the tropes of war, racist media coverage, war as entertainment, and the current and future issues refugees fleeing Ukraine are likely to face. Plus, the impact this has on global politics and policy with Daemeah Karbeah, the co-founder of grassroots collective @BlackPeopleInUkraine, research professor of women & militarism Cynthia Enloe, and award winning journalist and author Daniel Trilling. We also speak with award winning journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin to get his take on international law and the concept of hierarchies of suffering.  Stance hears music from Hercules & Love Affair, as we chat with Andy Butler about the upcoming release of their new record, In Amber, featuring  ANOHNI and drums by Budgie of Siouxsie and the Banshees. In Amber, is their first offering in five years - an emotive, honest and genre-crossing album.  Join the conversation at stancepodcast.com and all podcasting apps @stancepodcast @chrystalgenesis stancepodcast.com

Caesura is a project born from the collaboration between artist Ángela Maria Ramos and WILPF. In our second episode, Sara Dominguez, Cynthia Enloe and Diana Maria Salcedo talk about demilitarization, the role women have played in the Colombian peace process and how we can produce a positive change within local communities. Come take a break with us!

How state-centric and masculine-dominated is the #womenpeacesecurity agenda? Why the “add women and stir” formula is a success and why are we failing to see #gender mainstreaming cannot work in structures that thrive on unequal power relations? Listen to related episodes: 11.

In this episode, Dr Simon McKenzie talks with Julia Sluspka about how the metaphors we use to understand cyberspace impact on how we imagine it should be regulated. They discuss the ways in which the conceptualisation of cyberspace is contested. Is it like spatial territory? Are states engaged in cyber war? Or is it like an ecosystem, or infrastructure? The metaphor we adopt frames the problems we see and the solutions we arrive at. Julia Slupska is a doctoral student at the Centre for Doctoral Training in Cybersecurity and the Oxford Internet Institute. Her research focuses on technologically-mediated abuse like image-based sexual abuse ('revenge porn') and stalking, as well as emotion, care and metaphors in cybersecurity. Further readingJulia Slupska, 'War, Health and Ecosystem: Generative Metaphors in Cybersecurity Governance', Philosophy & Technology (2020).Julia Slupska, 'Safe at Home: Towards a Feminist Critique of Cybersecurity' in Whose Security is Cybersecurity?

“Sicherheitshalber” ist der Podcast zur sicherheitspolitischen Lage in Deutschland, Europa und der Welt. In Folge 33 sprechen Thomas Wiegold, Ulrike Franke, Frank Sauer und Carlo Masala mit Nina Bernarding vom Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy. Die vier Podcaster lernen, was die Kerngehalte feministischer Außenpolitik sind und steigen mit Nina in eine ebenso interessante wie intensive Diskussion darüber ein. Der zweite Teil beleuchtet am Beispiel von Drohnen die Bemühungen zahlreicher Militärs weltweit - inklusive der Bundeswehr - Luftverteidigungssysteme für die Nahdistanz zu entwickeln (Laser for short range air defense!? PEW PEW PEW!). Abschließend wie immer der “Sicherheitshinweis”, der kurze Fingerzeig auf aktuelle, sicherheitspolitisch einschlägige Themen und Entwicklungen - diesmal mit der neuen Strategie Deutschlands für den indo-pazifischen Raum, dem Abtritt des japanischen Premiers Abe, der Covidifizierung der VN-Rüstungskontrolle und dem Gezerre um neuen Korvetten für die Marine.

We discuss Cynthia Enloe's classic work of feminist international-relations theory. Note that this is a repost of the episode.

This episode brings into conversation Professor Cynthia Enloe, eminent feminist scholar and scholar on militarisation and global politics with Dr Amanda Chisholm, Senior Lecturer on Gender and Security at King's College London (KCL) and Dr Marsha Henry, Assistant Professor in the Gender Department at the London School of Economics (LSE).

This month’s podcast features an interview with the incredible Cynthia Enloe, a feminist writer, theorist, and professor at Clark University, Massachusetts. We talked about the best writing advice she’s ever gotten, how to start writing something that will be meaningful and interesting, and how to combat imposter syndrome when it comes to your writing. This interview audio (and soon a transcript of this conversation) is available on the Women in Foreign Policy website at http://www.womeninforeignpolicy.org/listen-to-our-podcast/.

Renowned scholar and activist Cynthia Enloe (Research Professor at Clark University) sits down with the coeditors of the forthcoming Signs special issue "Gender and the Rise of the Global Right"--Agnieszka Graff, Ratna Kapur, and Suzanna Danuta Walters--to analyze the relationship between gender and the increasing prominence of right-wing political figures and parties around the globe. They discuss the extent to which ideas about gender fuel right-wing movements, the currents of antifeminism and antigenderism, and the possibilities for transnational feminist organizing and resistance. This conversation is part of the Feminist Public Intellectual Project, a series of open-access features presented by Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society (http://signsjournal.org/fpip).

WLRN is back on the scene this first Thursday in July with our feminist anti-war news program in response to all of the war machine worship we have seen this 4th of July season. The show starts with the song Wargasm by L7 and then moves into world news headlines by Maya followed by Buffy St. Marie with her song, The War Racket. The first interview segment is with Cynthia Enloe, professor of Political Science, International Development and Women's & Gender Studies at Clark University. Next, hear Joni Mitchell's 1969 live version of her classic anti-war anthem and celebration of 60's music culture, Woodstock, before our second interview Thistle did with Cindy Sheehan, long-time anti-war activist who is currently working to organize the Women's March on the Pentagon set for October 20th - 21st in Washington DC.  Finally, to round out our program on women and war, Sekhmet SheOwl offers her profound commentary that brings us that much closer to an understanding of how things are arranged so that we can dismantle them.

Peace and Gender is a new podcast about the people behind the research on gender, peace, and security. In this episode, AndreaThiis-Evensen meets up with Professor Karin Aggestam, a Swedish researcher who specialises in the underrepresentation of women and LGBT people in diplomacy.  This is the first in a series – a collaboration betwen Mojo News (Monash Journalism) and   Monash Gender, Peace and Security, a group of policy and community engaged scholars whose research is focused in this area. The aim is to use the research to inform people, educators and policy-makers on the gendered politics of armed conflict and the search for peace. TRANSCRIPT Andrea:  Hey, my name is Andrea Thiis-Evensen.  Welcome to Peace and Gender, the podcast about the people behind the research on gender, peace and security.  In this podcast series I'm going to meet up with new professors and academics coming from all around the world who specialise in gender, peace and security.  In this podcast I'm trying to not only get a better understanding of the studies, but also the people behind the papers and research.  Who are they?  Why do they research these issues?  Most importantly, what are the issues regarding gender, peace and security that we actually need to talk about today? In this episode, you will meet Professor Karin Aggestam.  Karin is a professor in political science at Lund University in Sweden.  In this episode, Karin's going to talk about the underrepresentation of women in diplomacy and why this is a problem.  Karin also talks about a topic that I myself had never considered which is how difficult it can be for LGBT people in diplomacy, but more on that later. To begin with, when did Karin start studying gender, peace and conflict? Karin:  My area of interest in - generally like peace and conflict - has been all my career, including also as an under graduate and a post graduate.  Peace and conflict has been an area which I find extremely interesting because it's also inter-disciplinary, and it provides lots of opportunity to lots of interesting stuff in academia.  I've never left that area. Then I've worked also for a very long time on the Middle East, and particularly on the Israeli Palestinian conflict.  When it comes to gender it's something that I already - as a PhD candidate, together with some other of my colleagues, we got together in the 1990s - in the end of the 1990s - and had a big conference on feminist perspective in international relations, which at the time was considered very new area.  We had a great conference and a great launch at Lund University.  That also goes a long way back in time. Andrea:  Like many other professors and people, Karin has a life project within her academic world.  A specific academic curiosity as she calls it, or an issue that she wants to explore.  Karin:  My sort of curiosity, academic curiosity, has always been driven by a search for how we can sort of enhance a peaceful world order.  That's actually one reason why I did get - I was promoted to the Pufendorf Chair Professor because I have been working consistently in all my work, even though it has been very diverse, and diverse empirical domains.  Also theoretically it has always had us and our overarching quest of how we can advance a more peaceful world order. Andrea: One of Karin's most recent books is Gendering Diplomacy and International Negotiation. Karin:  There is so few studies in the field of diplomacy.  I put together, a couple of years ago, two panels at one of the big international conferences for international studies on diplomacy, together with Ann Towns who's a professor at Gothenburg University. We had these two panels and very exciting discussions and interesting papers.  From there we decided that we wanted to pull together these papers into book because - to make one step further to create a more robust theoretical field and also for empirical studies, so having a first take on that. Andrea: Karin's book addresses the critical question of where are the women in contemporary diplomacy and international negotiation.  Karin: Well my key interest in diplomacy is related to peace and conflict and that's why I have studied.  I spent lots of time on peace negotiations which are so critically important in the transition between war and peace.  This is, most of the time, conducted by men only, and I find this very troubling.  Andrea:  Can you tell me a bit about the issue about the lack of women and the overrepresentation of men in diplomacy? Karin:  Well if you have an institution of diplomacy where 85 per cent of them are men, there is an issue to be dealt with and needs to be addressed.  That's a starting point to problematize this very male institution and why that is the case.  You can do that through various approaches and that's what we try to show in the book.  Obviously there have been a number of bans in place excluding formerly women from participating in diplomacy.  As we point out this is a relatively new phenomenon in the sense that they were introduced as part of the professionalization of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the nineteenth century, and lifted first at the beginning of the twentieth century.  That was still in place when it came to marriage ban which was first lifted in the 60s and the 70s.  It's actually only in the last few decades that women have been able fully to participate and make careers as diplomats.  Andrea: The history of women in diplomacy is more complex than one might think.  Karin: What is interesting when - to take a more historical perspective that's why we argue in the book also that we need to analyse and study microhistory of specific periods of time because we can see that exclusion and inclusion of women fluctuates over time.  What we show, by looking and digging deeper into diplomatic history, is that actually women during the sixteenth, seventeenth century, eighteenth century, did take a very active part especially on the cases that we have on European history where women could make use of the fact that the boundaries between formal and informal institutions were much more fluid.  That created lots of opportunities for women to take part.  Of course we are then talking about elite women, women married to an ambassador, connected to the Royal Court.  These were women with very interesting stories, highly skilled, who played critical role both in negotiations, facilitating communication, building trust and so on.  This is sort of adding new critical insights, I would say, to history.  Also there were different concepts like Cynthia Enloe has discussed the role of the diplomatic wife which is more recent.  If we go back in time, another very interesting arena or forum where diplomats often made the critical decision was in the saloon.  In the saloon these were hosted and often orchestrated by women who then again were - you could say - playing the role as mediators, negotiators, communicators; the key critical functions of diplomacy. Andrea: As I mentioned earlier, Karin does not only focus on women being underrepresented in contemporary diplomacy. Karin: First of all, when it comes to not only women but also the LGBT people, first of all we also need to recognise - I'm probing again the barriers that are at play here, and how these people may find it difficult to operate in a very traditional masculine institution as diplomacy.  The question is to what extent diplomacy as an institution constrain and enable actions for women, for LGBT people, transgender.  It's something we need to probe, and to analyse, and to unpack in the quest of transforming diplomacy in the sense of becoming more inclusive and open.  What is interesting is if we take this historical perspective and look back in time, it's very interesting to find cases of transgender who act as diplomats.  We have a case in the seventeenth century of a man, born as a man but - and becoming a diplomat - but always dressed as a women, and identifying as a women, until he died.  There are many many more cases that we can look for and study, learn and understand also how gender categories are fluid at times in specific historical periods of time, and others where it's much more of policing and controlling boundaries. Andrea: As Karin writes in her book, women now make up just 15 per cent of the top diplomatic positions worldwide.  While Nordic countries stand out with an average of 35 per cent female ambassadors, the numbers are still pretty low.  Karin argues that the more gender equal a country is, the more likely they are to appoint female ambassadors.  How does it make a difference to have more women in diplomacy? Karin: We need much more studies on the effects of the increasing number of women, that we now see women participating in diplomacy.  What are the effects?  To what extent do women have to adjust to the traditional script of diplomacy?  Are they able to bring forth new issues?  Are they able to promote specific women issues?  All these questions needs to be discussed more thoroughly.  There's not a clear-cut answer to that question, and it's too naïve and too simplistic by stating, as some policymakers at times are doing, saying that adding more women by itself creates gender equality because that does not always correlate.  Of course there's a number of different school of thoughts here.  There are some who would say that if you reach a critical mass, things change.  There are different schools of thought on this.  We have seen this - for instance very interesting by other gender scholars on domestic politics and national institutions, but very few studies when it comes to the field of diplomacy.  That's why we hope to see many many more studies unpacking this assumption that is still there in the contemporary international policy [unclear].  First of all when it comes to not only women but also the LBGT people, first of all we also need to recognise and probing again the barriers that are at play here, and how these people may find it difficult to operate in a very traditional masculine institution as diplomacy.  The question is to what extent diplomacy as an institution constrain and enable actions for women, for LGBT people, transgender.  It's something we need to probe, and to analyse, and to unpack.  Andrea:  That was Karin Aggestam.  Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Peace and Gender.  My name is Andrea Thiis-Evensen, and this podcast was produced from Monash Gender Peace and Security and Mojo News.

Today we have a special episode from MR-dagarna (Swedish Human Rights Forum) in Malmö, with Alice Wadström from the RWI who is interviewing Cynthia Enloe, a professor known for her work on gender and militarism.

Chivvis Moore discusses her new memoir, First Tie Your Camel, Then Trust In God: An American Feminist in the Arab World.  Moore lived in the Middle East for 17 years, including three in Egypt, three in Syria, and 11 in Palestine.  She talks about what attracted her and what she learned about Muslim and Arab culture, volunteering as a medic in Jenin Refugee Camp immediately after the brutal siege of 2002, the impact of Western funding on the Palestinian women's movement, and how community helps people make it through intolerable situations. Then we listen to part of an interview with Cynthia Enloe, perhaps the foremost U.S. scholar on gender and militarism.  Enloe is the author of many books including Does Khaki Become You? The Militarization of Women's Lives, Bananas, Beaches, and Bases, and Globalization and Militarism: Feminists Make the Link.  As the Pentagon announces that it is now open to transgender soldiers, we discuss the role of the military in enforcing cultural ideals of masculinity and how the integration of women into units has – and has not – challenged that. Also, a brief tribute to trailblazing basketball coach Pat Summitt, the winningest coach in the sport's history.
