NYU Center For Global Affairs Research Practicum
Since Fall 2019, GNWP has been partnering with the Center for Global Affairs in the School of Professional Studies at the New York University, to deliver a Student Practicum and explore conditions for women’s meaningful participation in peace negotiations, implementation of peace agreements, post-conflict recovery, and youth inclusivity in policy processes through rigorous research.
As part of the Practicum, which is organized periodically, a group of students work under the supervision of Clinical Professor Dr. Anne Marie Goetz to conduct research into priority themes related to women’s meaningful participation and other intersecting priorities, identified by the GNWP team. GNWP supports the students, connecting them to our local and national partners, providing access to data, and to events and discussions at the UN and in other policy spaces. GNWP works together with the students to ensure that their findings are translated into concrete recommendations, which inform our global and local advocacy efforts to ensure women’s effective engagement in ongoing peace talks, in longer-term recovery and conflict prevention, and the inclusion of young people in national-level policy planning.
In Fall 2019, the students explored the interlinkages between women’s participation in peace negotiations and gender provisions in peace agreements; and women’s political and economic inclusion post-conflict.
In Fall 2020, the students explored the impacts of COVID-19 on the implementation of gender provisions in peace agreements, as well as on women-led peacebuilding.
In Fall 2021, the students explored the perspectives of youth peacebuilders on their inclusion in national-level policy planning on Women, Peace and Security and Youth, Peace and Security.
In Winter 2023, the students explored women’s political participation in post-conflict contexts, including case study examples from Colombia, Nepal and South Sudan.
In Fall 2023, the students are exploring the intersections of technology and gender as well as cybersecurity and Women, Peace and Security.
