Pushing Back the Pushback? WPS, Power Politics, and Liberal Retreat - PRIF BLOG

Twenty-five years after its adoption, the Women, Peace and Security agenda is operating within a different political landscape. Power politics is returning, militarization is accelerating, and the anti-rights pushback is intensifying. Yet the erosion of WPS is not only the result of an illiberal backlash; while many states continue to invoke the WPS agenda rhetorically, their substantive political commitment is waning.

What can we learn from the #MAFAPO movement in #Colombia about grief in politics? Laura Zúñiga argues that the #WPS agenda has often reduced women’s political agency to visibility and voice. A feminist lens helps to recognize more intimate, everyday, and affective forms of resistance. New on #PRIFblog.

Who Gets to Mourn? Rethinking Grief, Resistance and the Everyday Politics of Peace in Colombia - PRIF BLOG

What does it mean to resist when there are no slogans, no marches, no chants, only grief? This piece argues that the Women, Peace and Security agenda—despite its historic contributions—has often reduced women’s political agency to visibility, voice, and institutional participation. A feminist lens invites us to look beyond this framing and recognise the everyday, intimate, and affective forms of resistance through which women remember the dead, survive violence, and hold broken communities together.

Jennifer Ann’s Group, an Atlanta-based nonprofit, is seeking collaborators for studies on how video games can PREVENT teen dating violence.

💜 Since 2006, we’ve used digital media to promote healthy relationships.
Now we’re looking to partner with researchers (students, faculty, or independent scholars) interested in trauma-informed, game-based, and prevention-focused research.

🧠 We do not have funding available at the moment, but would work with you to secure some. (We are US-based, looking to branch out internationally)

"James Clifford claimed, in his introduction [to Clifford & Marcus 1986, Writing Culture], that the work of feminist anthropologists would not be included in the volume because their writings had introduced neither innovation nor experimentation to ethnographic representation, failing, in his terms, to produce either “unconventional forms of writing or a developed reflection on ethnographic textuality”"

Well, this just leaves me out of words.
