Honoring Veterans for Peace
Prof. CYNTHIA ENLOE
"Making Feminist Sense of the Afghanistan War"

At Clark University, Cynthia Enloe is a research professor in International Development, Community & Environment and director of the Women's Studies program. Her research centers on women's place in the political world; her writings cover a range of issues including gender-based discrimination, as well as racial, ethnic and national identities. She will have just returned from New Zealand where, she claims, "they're thinking about militarization of the South Pacific!" She will be exploring how taking seriously the diverse lives and ideas of women in several countries can make us smarter about the causes and costs of war

Her book titles (incomplete list) point the way -- 'The Morning After:
Sexual Politics at the End of the Cold War'; 'Does Khaki Become You? The
Militarization of Women's Lives'; 'Bananas, Beaches & Bases: Making Feminist Sense of International Politics'; 'The Curious Feminist: Searching for Women in the New Age of Empire'; 'Globalization and Militarism: Feminists Make the Link'; and 'Maneuvers: The International Politics of Militarizing Women's Lives'.
