WPS Graduate Certificate Courses
Graduate students: take a class with GIWPS this spring! These spring classes can be “grandfathered” into the proposed GIWPS graduate certificate on Gender, Peace and Security, which we hope will be approved and online beginning fall 2020.
Gender, International Security & Development – GOVT 570 – 01
Taught by Affiliate GIWPS Researcher Dr. S. Ayse Kadayifci-Orellana, this course contextualizes gender issues and asks the question: how would we think about international peace, security and development approaches and design intervention strategies if gender was treated a central consideration in international affairs and peacebuilding programming? To answer this question, the class will explore both conceptual considerations related to gender and its practical application. Focusing on practical skills such as conflict sensitive gender analysis, it will examine how to most effectively mainstream gender into policy making and programming related to international peace, security, and development.
Inclusive Negotiation & Mediation – MSFS 726
Module: Jan 08, 2020 – Feb 27, 2020
New research finds that inclusive negotiations can lead to enhanced outcomes–but how can this finding inform practice? This class will develop skills including setting up and structuring talks, building diverse teams, engaging stakeholders, and negotiating across cultures. The module explores how the diverse identities and interests of mediators, negotiators, and citizens affect the process and outcome of negotiations. Difficulties for broadening the range of stakeholders at the table will also be addressed alongside and exploration of several case studies of Track 1 and Track 2 peace negotiations; nuclear negotiations; anti-corruption negotiations; and cultural diplomacy.
Gender and US Foreign Policy – MSFS 724
Module: Feb 28 – May 09, 2020
This course will challenge conventional notions of women’s roles in foreign policy and explore how masculinity and femininity pervade foreign policy decision-making. New laws, including in the US, require that defense, diplomacy, and development efforts include a gender lens. As such, the class will explore the under-examined roles of women in the US, from World Wars to the present day. The development of feminist foreign policy by Sweden and Canada, as well as trends towards gender sensitive foreign policy around the world will also be examined and discussed.
