Terrorism, Gender, and Women

Toward an Integrated ResearchAgenda, is one of the newest contributions to the topic of gendered terrorism.The text seeks to create and inspire a dialogue among scholars of conflict, terrorism, and gender by suggesting the necessity of incorporating gender analysis to fill gaps within, and further enhance, our understanding of political violence.(p. 1).It encourages a greater integration of gender-sensitive approaches to studies of violent extremism and terrorism.This edited volume, which consists of an introductory essay and eight chapters, is organized around the theme of gender, women, and terrorism.The articles in the book span a wide range of topics and taken together, encourage a discussion of new ways of understanding how women and men can be affected differently by terrorism and violent extremism and how involvement can often be influenced by highly gendered experiences and considerations (p. 1).Each chapter explores the intersection between gender and terrorism through its own lens.All eight chapters demonstrate how gender analysis and, in some cases, feminist methodology, both contribute to and potentially transform our understanding of recent trends in terrorism and current threats (p.8).The articles build on existing studies and add new knowledge and insights as well as offering directions for future research and policymaking.The book contents were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Studies in Conflict & Terrorism
