WOMEN STOP WAR ESSAY COMPETITION - HOW TO
MAKE PEACEMAKING MORE HOLISTIC?
WILPF is proud to announce the opening of the Women Stop War Essay
Competition for students to get involved! To kick-start our preparations for
the upcoming conference, we want to hear your views on peacemaking! We’ve
got conference tickets and a cash prize to give away, so get
scribbling!
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for essays focusing on the question:
‘How
would you change the current narrative of peacemaking to be more holistic?‘
Answers to this question can vary from improving criminal
prosecutions of international war crimes, to including gender perspectives
in the Security Council, to the necessity of tackling economic insecurity,
sexism, racism or religious extremism to combat war, just to name a few
examples of what your essay could look like. Most importantly, we want to hear
your unique view on peacemaking.
Who can submit?
We are taking in essays from all graduate, undergraduate or Phd.
students currently enrolled in an academic institution, as well as any students
currently enrolled in secondary education (high school).
Who will be the judge?
The Judging Committee is made up of three members of the WILPF
Academic Network, Cynthia Enloe, Laurie Cohen and Claire Duncanson, coordinated
by Barbara Trojanowska. It’s therefore also a great way to get your work read
by some of the most influential academics in the field!
