Schell Center for International Human Rights: “Identity, Conflict, and Displacement: Rethinking Gender-Based and Sexual Violence During War”

The Schell Center for International Human Rights presents a discussion panel. 

“Identity, Conflict, and Displacement: Rethinking Gender-Based and Sexual Violence During War.” 

This panel brings together scholars and practitioners to explore the intersections of gender-based violence, conflict, and forced displacement. Drawing on research and fieldwork from diverse contexts, participants will examine recent advances in scholarship on conflict-related sexual violence and its role in forced displacement, the differential effects of identity on wartime experience, and reflect on innovations and challenges in global policy responses.

Panelists:

• Graeme Reid is the United Nations Independent Expert on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, as well as lecturer at the Jackson School of Global Affairs at Yale University
• Elisabeth Wood is the Crosby Professor of the Human Environment and Professor of Political Science and International & Area Studies at Yale University
