This volume of "Research in Social Movements, Conflicts, and
Change" investigates gendered aspects of social activism and
peacebuilding, an area of research that continues to be
undertheorized. Gender cuts across all forms of conflict and all
aspects of society politically, economically, and socially. As a
basic organizing principle in society, gender roles, relations, and
inequalities impact social processes. From a gender perspective,
the transformation of society requires investigating the
overlapping and intertwined root causes of conflict from the
interpersonal to the community and structural level, and the
critical role that women play in conflict resolution,
peacebuilding, and social movements. With a focus on the agency of
grassroots citizens, refugee, indigenous, and ethnic minority
women, this volume seeks to bring light to gendered aspects of
practice that will assist scholars and practitioners in research
and policy development. From reconciliation commissions in Sierra
Leone, environmental activists in the Czech Republic, women's
organizations in Burmese refugee camps, women's work in conflict
resolution rituals in Laos, Minutewomen's e-activism in the United
States, to women's social networks in Uzbekistan, this book
explores complex contexts and critical issues central to women's
grassroots activism, peacebuilding, and social movements.
