PRIO Global Fellow, Professor Jacqui True, has been selected as a 2021 Fellow of the Australian Institute of International Affairs (AIIA). Each year since 2008, AIIA has recognised individuals “with a strong connection to Australia who have achieved a very high level of distinction in, and made a distinguished contribution to, international affairs” by making them fellows of the institute. True has been selected "for her excellence in scholarship on international relations and gender, peace, and security".
This fall the PRIO GPS Centre and Gender Research Group are collaborating on a strategic initiative to build more research focusing on men and masculinities at PRIO.
In recent years, there has been a growth of research which focuses on how gender shapes men's lives, including in peace and conflict research. Through different thematic workshops this fall, PRIO researchers and other collaborators will be meeting to identify where masculinities can fit into PRIO's research, and to develop innovative and new project proposals.
The project kicked off with a seminar by PRIO Global Fellow Jacqui True in August, and three workshops will be taking place throughout the fall at PRIO, covering topics such as men’s engagement for Women, Peace, and Security, violent extremism and masculinity, and masculinities and militarism.
The Oxford Handbook of Women, Peace, and Security was the NATO Library’s most popular book in 2020. The handbook was published in 2019 and has 93 contributors from all over the world, including several PRIO researchers.
Professor Jacqui True has been awarded the International Studies Association (ISA)'s 2020 Eminent Scholar Award in the International Relations sub-field of Feminist Theory and Gender Studies (FTGS).
Inger Skjelsbæk, Torunn L. Tryggestad and Louise Olsson at the PRIO Centre on Gender, Peace and Security have contributed to the newly published Oxford Handbook of Women, Peace, and Security, edited by Sara E. Davies and PRIO Global Fellow Jacqui True.
On 12-13 September, Inger Skjelsbæk and Torunn L. Tryggestad from the PRIO GPS Centre attended a workshop on gender and foreign policy in Prato, Italy, organized by the Monash University GPS Centre, Australia, and the University in Lund, Sweden.
The first issue in 2017 the PRIO Gender, Peace and Security Update is now out.
The lead story in this issue includes an interview with Sarah Douglas, Gender Advisor at the United Nations Peacebuilding Support Office, about how the UN Peacebuilding Fund has managed to surpass the target for financing gender-specific projects.
