Description
The 2020 global disruption causedthe pandemic and the recent groundswell of support for racial justice have led to some soul-searching within the nuclear security community. In order to cope with pressing societal challenges and problem articulation, the nuclear policy communityneeds toexplore more diverse narratives and approaches. One such approach is feminist political theory, which embraces values like intersectionality and justice in foreign policy. There is a rich, if underappreciated, literature on feminism and nuclear deterrence, arms control, and disarmament, which provides a foundation for suchinquiry. Through this grant, theCentre for Feminist Foreign Policy (CFFP)willsurvey past work on feminist political thought related to nuclear issues, derive insights from this research for questions we face today, and outline areas for future work.
