This episode is with Dr. Maïka Sondarjee, Assistant Professor in the School of International Development and Global Studies at the University of Ottawa in Canada. Maïka’s research investigates multilateralism and international organizations, the white savior complex and feminist theories in international relations.
Her article “We are a Community of Practice, not a Paradigm: How to Meaningfully Integrate Gender and Feminist Approaches in IR Syllabi” in the August 2022 issue of International Studies Perspectives explores how to integrate gender and feminist approaches into IR.
Among other things, we discuss:
• How academics ignore their agency as teachers even as they emphasize their agency as scholars
• What it means to seize agency in rebuilding the often-unquestioned structures we have inherited for introduction to IR courses
• How to integrate feminist and post-colonial perspectives throughout syllabi not just as one coherent point of view, but as a mechanism for teaching complexity
