Conference Overview
We invite submissions for Rethinking Justice and Security: Feminist Approaches to Global Challenges. The conference will explore the intersection of macroeconomic policies, domestic security, and environmental challenges through a feminist lens. This event brings together scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to share research, insights, and strategies for addressing structural inequities and fostering inclusive solutions.
We expect to feature perspectives from South America, South Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Sessions will focus on regional challenges and encourage cross-regional collaboration for actionable outcomes.
