Session 3 - Panel II - The Role of Women in Maintaining and Reproducing Repressive Gender Orders

This panel will examine the question of why and how women contribute (actively and/or passively) to the maintenance and reproduction of gender orders. Questions such as these become particularly urgent in periods of radical social, political, and economic change, for example in times of war, displacement, or economic crisis when the kind and volume of resources available to women and men change significantly.
