We are delighted to announce Professor Cynthia Enloe’s talk at the Department of Social Sciences, Cass School or Education and Communities, UEL, in which she will tackle some of the most pressing questions of contemporary globalised world characterised by unprecedented human insecurity, as well as growing processes of everyday militarisation. Please join us and engage in this timely and much needed conversation with one of the most influential feminist scholars in the field. Cynthia Enloe is a feminist writer, theorist, and professor best known for her work on gender and militarism and for her contributions to the field of feminist international relations. Cynthia’s scholarly work focuses on the interplay of gendered politics in the national and international arenas. Racial, class, ethnic and national identities shaping ideas about femininities and masculinities, are common threads throughout her studies. Her exploration of feminism, women, militarized culture, war, politics and globalized economics in countries such as Japan, Iraq, the US, Britain, the Philippines, Canada, Chile and Turkey, has been influenced by many feminist scholars who use an ethnographic approach. Cynthia Enloe is not only an internationally renowned feminist scholar, she is also well known for her inclusive, generous and conscientious spirit. In 2015, the International Feminist Journal of Politics, in conjunction with the academic publisher Taylor & Francis, created the Cynthia Enloe Award "in honor of Cynthia Enloe’s pioneering feminist research into international politics and political economy, and her considerable contribution to building a more inclusive feminist scholarly community. In 2007, she was awarded the International Studies Association's Susan Strange Award, in recognition of ‘a person whose singular intellect, assertiveness, and insight most challenge conventional wisdom and organizational complacency in the studies community.’ Cynthia Enloe's fifteen books include - Maneuvers: The International Politics of Militarizing Women's Lives (2004), The Curious Feminist (2004) and Globalization and Militarism (2007), Nimo's War, Emma's War: Making Feminist Sense of the Iraq War, (2011), as well as a new, fully updated and revised 2nd edition of Bananas, Beaches and Bases was published in 2014. Her latest book, The Big Push: Exposing and Challenging the Persistence of Patriarchy, published this year, 2017, will be launched here in London on October 19, at Waterstones Trafalgar Square.
