Building Peace, Rebuilding Patriarchy: The Failure of Gender Interventions in Timor-Leste

Wednesday 27 September, 12:00pm - 1:15pm

Speaker: Dr Melissa Johnston (University of Queensland)

Chair: Prof. John Sidel (LSE Saw Swee Hock Southeast Asia Centre)

Men and women do not experience war, violence, and peace in the same ways. Accordingly, peacebuilding interventions now incorporate “gender mainstreaming” and stand-alone “gender-and-development” programming. These gender interventions should make peacebuilding more effective and sustainable, facilitating stable societies and efficient economies, but results have been mixed. In this seminar, Dr Melissa Johnston (University of Queensland) will explore outcomes for people on the ground in the instructive case of Timor-Leste.

This hybrid event is co-hosted with the LSE Saw Swee Hock Southeast Asia Centre.
