1) Invitation to participate in the International Conference on “Gender, Geopolitics and Forced Migration,” 04-05 March 2024

Greetings from the Centre on Cender and Forced Displacement (CGFD) at the Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok, Thailand.

It is our immense pleasure to invite you to participate in the International Conference on “Gender, Geopolitics and Forced Migration” to

be held on 04-05 March 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. The conference marks International Women’s Month 2024 to “Inspire Inclusion” to

forge Gender Equality by arguing for a gender-sensitive approach to geopolitics in international relations, foreign policy making and national

politics.

Taking feminist perspectives on war, conflicts, displacements, migration, and peace, the three-fold objectives of the conference are:

1. To Investigate the gendered assumptions/stereotypes in the study of forced migration, displacements, international relations, and national

and foreign policy making, including their explicit geopolitical and biopolitical reasoning and how political spatialization renders women

and vulnerable groups even more vulnerable.

2. To examine the implications of militarized notions of territorial citizenship, using the masculinist ideas of power, space, and security and

feminine representations of peace, security, and victimhood.

3. To explore how the practical everyday implications of geopolitics and biopolitics and their intersectionalities impact the causes and

consequences of displacements.

Against this backdrop, the conference intends to address the following questions:

1. How is excessive geopolitics affecting the vulnerable sections of the population in the region? Is it making women even more

marginalized in the public sector?

2. Can geopolitics address the situation of the Afghans, Rohingyas, and Palestinians, for example? Is there a gender dimension to

this problem?

3. Can geopolitical considerations affect the private, too, or are they acutely felt only in the public domains?

4. It is said that toxic geopolitics and noxious masculinity come together in moments of neocolonialism. How does it affect IDPs

and the Stateless?

5. Can peace and security be crafted without gender sensitivities?

Keeping these questions in mind, the four panels for the conference are:

1. Gender, Geopolitics, and Internal Displacements

2. Gender and Geopolitics within the Rubrics of Citizenship and Statelessness

3. Geopolitics and Biopolitics: Everyday Experiences of the Displaced

4. Gender, Geopolitics and Forced Displacements: Cases from Other Regions

 

Please confirm whether you would like to present a paper for 25 minutes. Please contact us at monira@ait.ac.th

and ahsan.monira@gmail.com for paper presentations by February 15, 2024.

 

To attend the conference and participate in the proceedings, please contact Sristy Sen at sristy.sen@gmail.com by February 15, 2024.

 

We look forward to seeing you at the conference.
