Challenging Traditional Security Narratives Through Feminist Perspectives

This exam evaluates how feminist perspectives challenge traditional security narratives in multiple contexts. It aims to analyze established norms regarding security and how gendered analyses can provide innovative insights.

Challenging traditional narratives is essential for evolving our understanding of security beyond militarized concepts and incorporating human rights and gender dimensions. This perspective significantly impacts policy formulation and security strategies.

Students will be assessed on their ability to articulate critiques of traditional security narratives and demonstrate an understanding of how these critiques influence current security policies. Strong verbal communication will be emphasized.

Candidates should prepare to discuss real-world examples where feminist critiques have led to changes in security discourse, providing a nuanced understanding of the implications for international relations.
