Environmental Degradation, Climate Change, and Mass Violence: Intersections with Gender

In conjunction with an upcoming special issue of Genocide Studies and Prevention of the same title, the International Association of GenocideScholars (IAGS) is sponsoring three panel discussions for the purposes of sharing ideas, building connections, and highlighting the interdisciplinarity of this subject. This event is co-sponsored with the Environmental Peacebuilding Association (EnPAx) and is part of the Road to Geneva.

Each panel will focus broadly on a sub-topic under the umbrella of environmental conflict & security, with the acknowledgement that these topics are intertwined

The University of Western Australia will host the third panel, which will center on the gendered dimensions of environmental security. Pulling in topics from the previous two panels, this discussion will emphasize how gender affects and is affected by environmental conflict dynamics, and what that means for potential solutions.
