Internship at GenDip

About GenDip

The GenDip program maps and analyzes the changing character of diplomacy as carried out by men, women and other career diplomats around the world. Diplomacy – the official relations between governments by other means than military force – is a central institution of international politics. In the 19^th and much of the 20^th centuries, diplomacy was an all-male institution, practiced by men and infused by norms of masculinity. In the 2000s, a rapidly increasing number of women have entered the diplomatic arena. GenDip thus asks questions about various gender dimensions of diplomacy.

GenDip is situated at the Department of Political Science, University of Gothenburg. It is led by Professor Ann Towns. The GenDip team conducts several research projects, all focusing on the changing role of diplomacy in the contemporary world. GenDip also includes an international network of scholars studying gender and diplomacy around the globe.
