-A statement from GEIA on new concentration: “GEIA is excited to announce a new 'Gender in International Affairs' concentration for undergraduate students. This is the first time the Elliott School has offered this concentration. We have created this concentration to equip our next generation of international affairs leaders with gender expertise, which a rapidly expanding field of knowledge required by a growing number of government departments, think tanks, multilateral institutions, and INGOs. This concentration will provide students with an opportunity to deepen their knowledge of international affairs analyzed through a feminist intersectional lens. For example, we now have overwhelming empirical evidence correlating women’s status in a country with its security, stability, and prosperity, the more gender equal a nation-state is, the less likely it is to use violence to resolve conflicts, which in turn has a positive impact on international security.” -Requirements: two core courses [choosing from Masculinities in International Affairs; Women’s Rights and Gender Equality; Women in Global Politics] and three additional courses, a full list available on GEIA website For more information and a complete list of courses send an email to baia@gwu.edu or geia@gwu.edu
