Course/Module description:
The climate crisis, the greatest security challenge of the 21st century, is essentially a social crisis that exacerbates social inequality, vulnerability and political instability. This course aims to examine our response to the crisis in the light of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000), which recognized the particularly devastating consequences of armed conflict on women and girls and the importance of equal participation of women in decision-making processes. The first part of the course will address several key concepts and processes: Gender relations and feminist thought; international conventions and decisions for the advancement of women's rights and sustainable living; types of security and insecurity. The second part of the course will focus on a variety of case studies through which we will examine intersections between gender relations, human security and the climate crisis in the local and the international arenas.
