Hvordan fremme et nasjonalt fagfelt? I.
Show summary
I liket med andre fagfelt opplever også kjønnsforskningen økende utfordringer: Internasjonalisering, økende konkurranse, kriteriestyrt måling av kvalitet, fragmentering av fagfelt, finansiering, manglende dugnadsånd. Forening for kjønnsforskning (FOK) har invitert representanter fra de sentrale institusjoner i det norske kjønnsforskningsfeltet, tilgrensende fagfelt nasjonalt, og i naboland og spør: Hvilke utfordringer har vi? Hvordan håndteres disse i dag? Hvilke grep kan/bør kjønnsforskningen ta i møte med disse i fremtiden?

"Gender and PVE", panel discussion at the seminar entitled "Preserving Spaces for Dialogue in the Middle East
" on the occasion of the Norwegian Royal visit to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in March 2020.
Show summary
The discourse on violent extremism is evolving rapidly. In recent years, new insights and policy prescriptions have been particularly visible when it comes to the gendered aspects of the issue. Although violent extremism remains an area of contestation, we have seen a general maturing of the international debate, with both Jordan and Norway at the forefront in advocating broader understandings and more comprehensive policies. Together, the two countries launched the Group of Friends of Preventing Violent Extremism – #Friends4PVE – in New York on 28 September 2017.

Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in the time of COVID-19: A hidden pandemic?
Show summary
Shortly after his call for a global ceasefire, UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for measures to address a “horrifying global surge in domestic violence” directed towards women and girls, linked to lockdowns imposed by governments responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. This seminar asks how and in what ways the global COVID-19 pandemic has impacted sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) from the perspectives of policy making, advocacy and practice. This seminar also asks how the COVID-19 responses have impacted women, girls, and LGBTQ+ persons affected by conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV).

Hopes and misguided expectations: How policy documents frame gender in efforts at preventing terrorism and violent extremism.
Show summary
With the rise of far-right movements globally, issues of gender and right-wing extremism have gained new urgency. Although anti-feminism, misogyny and restored masculinity is at the heart of the far-right project, the gendered aspects of this ‘rise of the right’ too often are overlooked. Yet gender matters in understanding right-wing extremism and terrorism.
This webinar will focus on the narratives, ideologies and practices amongst these movements and understand them in relation to the intersection of class, race, faith, gender, and nationality. It will address both the diversity of masculinities and the ambiguity of women’s position in extremist groups. The speakers draw on their expertise in gender research from the fields of criminology and psychology.
This webinar is a part of the Gender & (in)security event series.

Show summary
Debates about, as well as changes in, gender norms and gender policies have great potential for political mobilization: they encircle social and political developments as movements towards societal stabilization—or its opposite, destabilization. Contested issues include abortion, family policy, whether women are by nature more suited for childcare than men, sex education in schools, teaching of gender studies at universities, views on sexual minorities (including homosexuals’ right to marry and to adopt children). Positions on these issues follow political dividing lines, with the far right at one end of the spectrum.
At the same time as the global governance system is pushing for increased gender equality, there are powerful forces opposed to such a goal. Anti-feminist and anti-gender-equality sentiments mark new nationalist policies and rhetoric, as well as populist and extremist mobilization. Several scholars have argued that we are witnessing the rise of a new form of patriarchy and masculine norms and grievances, as well as the fear of a low of traditional values. Male resentment and victimhood among certain groups is heralded as one of many explanatory factors for much of the nationalist mobilization and political change observed in recent years: from the coming to power of Donald J. Trump in the USA, Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, to Brexit and illiberal democratic developments in Europe.

"Norway’s Peace Engagement: What’s Gender Got to Do with It?"
Presentation at International Studies Association (ISA), San Francisco, 7. April 2018
.
Show summary
The national self-image of Norway is as a gender equal and peace promoting nation. Norwegian gender equality policies grew out of a strong social and political civil society engagement from below combined with equal rights laws as well as quota systems implemented from above. This dual pressure, or interaction, between the government and civil society proved to be very effective and has been labelled ‘state feminism’. Scholars researching the Nordic woman-friendly states have asked whether one of the premises for the emergence of this state model was based, in part, on the fact that the states were small and relatively homogenous, inevitably arguing that this way of making gender specific changes may not be possible to transfer to other contexts. Still, state feminist thinking, as well as mode of operating, is integral to Norway’s many peace engagements around the world. In this paper we explore how gender equality concerns and women’s empowerment became part of Norwegian peace mediation efforts historically, how such concerns are promoted by Norwegian peace facilitators in peace mediation practice, and to what extent the Norwegian identity of the peace facilitator has hindered or facilitated the inclusion of gender equality norms based on a state feminist model.

Normative Encounters between the ‘Global’ and the ‘Local’: Women, Peace and Security in Mali and Rwanda.
Lund University Open Access.
ISSN 978-91-7895-670-8.
Show summary
This thesis examines the multiple and often overlapping encounters between ‘global’ and ‘local’ norms, actors, practices, and discourses which take place when norms travel between different socio-political contexts. This is done through a study of how global gender equality norms embedded in the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda are promoted in two war to peace transitions: Mali and Rwanda. Since the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 in 2000, the WPS agenda has emerged as a powerful international normative framework and has become a key component of international peacebuilding efforts. Through four papers, the thesis demonstrates how global and local actors engage with WPS norms in multiple, overlapping and sometimes unexpected ways, producing a range of outcomes that shape both the meanings and trajectories of norms.
The thesis advances the empirical study of norms by combining a number of analytical approaches and data sources, including unique and comprehensive data on the peace process in Mali generated through extensive fieldwork. It outlines a conceptual framework for studying normative encounters and related processes of contestation, friction, localization and appropriation. These processes are explored in the papers, where I develop existing theories and concepts from the literatures on the ‘agency of the governed’ and critical peacebuilding. Together, the papers provide important insights concerning the ability of agents to shape the meanings and trajectories of norms through meaning-making practices. These include practices of resistance and refinement at the Malian peace negotiations (Paper 1), frictional interactions in the Malian peace process (Paper 2), discursive practices of re-presentation by local elites in Mali (Paper 3) and policy production by the Government of Rwanda (Paper 4). Further, when agents are involved in these processes, they construct and produce new meanings and realities through their engagement with norms. The thesis shows how actors contribute to increased norm precision through the development of operating principles (Paper 1), how they construct positions and locations from which to claim authority and legitimacy (Papers 2, 3 and 4), as well as new identities (Papers 2 and 3) and subjects to be governed (Papers 3 and 4).
