Beskrivning
Join researcher Katharina Kehl as she explores how norms and identities have shaped our understanding of security – both historically and today. Based on her research and the book Boundaries of Queerness, Katharina addresses questions such as who is seen as a threat and who is protected?The lecture will provide examples from the Swedish Armed Forces' campaigns and the brochure "If Crisis or War Comes", discussing how gender and norms play a role in societal security. You will also gain insight into how particularly vulnerable groups, such as LGBTQ+ individuals and those affected by violence, are included or excluded in these narratives.
The evening will conclude with a panel discussion that delves into the complexity of issues surrounding threats and security from a gender perspective.
