Gender Justice Memory
The Gender Justice and Memory project, led by Dr Jelke Boesten, explores the ways in which post-conflict remembering can contribute to debating and unsettling harmful gender norms that may have contributed to specifically gendered harms in conflict. This includes the need for inclusive curricula and the possibility of publications in the area of transformative gender justice.

Roundtable Report on Positionality in the field, 8 May 2019
Following a similar workshop held in 2016 on 'Gender in the Field', it became apparent that thinking about who we are in relation to your research environment is useful in order to prepare ourselves before going into the field, in thinking carefully about how our questions might be shaped by our position in terms of gender, sexuality, race, nationality, class, caste or religion, and how our relationship with respondents – and the answers we might get – are steeped in perceptions we have of them, and they have of us. Several PhD students discussed their experiences with positionality with students who still have to go into the field. A report of the discussion and a list of guidelines and tips can be found here.

Blog: Menstrual Matters
Sally King (Department of Global Health and Social Medicine) researches the topic of Premenstrual Syndrome. She is also the Director of Menstrual Matters, an online hub about the role of the menstrual cycle and hormonal medications in female-prevalent ill health. Her website combines evidence-based health advice with a monthly myth-busting blog that looks at the reasons why the menstrual cycle remains such a 'taboo' topic.

Feminist Research reading group
The Feminist Research reading group has emerged out of the LISS-facilitated 'Feminist Methods' seminar that took place at King’s College in the summer of 2018. Our aim is to continue discussing the issues raised in the seminar (especially in regard to our own research) and to connect feminist researchers among departments and universities. We are mostly PhD students from King’s College and Queen Mary, but open to interested MA students and staff as well. If you are interested in joining us or have any other questions, please email: katrin.schindel@kcl.ac.uk
Feminist Security Studies reading group
Women in War and International Politics offers a reading group on feminist security studies. We discuss literature that is usually overlooked or only briefly dealt with in class. This group is not just for those of you wanting to delve deeper into a decidedly feminist perspective on politics and security, but also for those of you who are simply keen to learn something new. We aim to look at a diverse selection of academic literature that takes into account a variety of voices and schools of thought, and look both at classics and lesser-known texts. Whether or not you have dealt with these topics before, this reading group is for you!
