Master-level course “Gender, Peace and Conflict” at the University of Oslo

At the University of Oslo, Inger Skjelsbæk, Johanne Rokke Elvebakken and Lina Stotz have taught the master level course “KFL4065 - Gender, Peace and Conflict” from 2021-2025 as part of the EuroWARCHILD project.

What are gendered dimensions of peace and conflict? How does gender shape armed conflict, political violence and peacebuilding, and, conversely, how are notions of gender shaped by the dynamics of war and conflict? In this course, the students will learn how research in different scholarly fields analyze and explain peace and conflict from the optics of gender. Central topics include: Gender norms, security, peacebuilding, conflict related sexual violence, children born of war, transitional justice and violent extremism.

The course involves several guest lecturers, among which have been team members of the project.
