My new research concentrates on the gendered nature of international politics and law. I find it fascinating that in 1915 during the First World War, over a thousand women met at The Hague to find ways to end the war. At a time when women were not seen as creditable political actors, female peace activists sought to find ways towards a sustainable peace.
