Women, Peace and Security

The Boston Consortium on Gender, Security and Human Rights
The Boston Consortium on Gender, Security and Human Rights would like to announce the launch of our online Compendium of Syllabi on Gender, Armed Conflict, Security and International Relations. This collection of syllabi has been gathered from faculty and institutions both in the United States and internationally, and covers a wide range of topics related to gender and war. We hope the Compendium proves to be a valuable resource for faculty engaged in designing or updating similar courses, as well as for students interested in pursuing the study of gender and security. Please visit the compendium at http://www.genderandsecurity.org/syllabus.html
