Carol Cohn
Carol Cohn is the founding director of the Consortium on Gender, Security and Human Rights and a Lecturer of
Women's Studies at the
University of Massachusetts Boston. Cohn is recognised for addressing issues of gender in
global politics, particularly
conflict and security issues. She has published in academic and policy contexts with major research interests lying in the realm of gender and armed conflict, the gendered discourses of US national security elites and gender mainstreaming in international security institutions. In addition to her research, Cohn facilitates training and workshops for
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 and has been active in the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security since 2001. Taken wholly, Cohn's career includes a stance described as
feminist anti-militarism. In 2013, Cohn edited a well-received collection of essays on the topic of women and war in which it is argued that the topic of war cannot be understood without understanding
gender dynamics.
