CIS-Sponsored Roundtable: 'Women in the History of International Thought'
*Abstract:* What explains the near total absence of women in histories of international thought and the disciplinary history of International Relations? In this lecture, Professor Patricia Owens argues that women’s absence from histories of international thought is not based on a lack of women’s thinking about international politics or contribution to the early science of IR. A diverse array of historical women thought deeply about international relations and significant numbers were present in the early years of IR, especially in the first decades of the twentieth-century.

Frontline Turkey: The Conflict at the Heart of the Middle East
In 2011 Turkey’s President Erdogan promised to make a deal with the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party), but the talks marked a descent into assassinations, suicide bombings and the killing of civilians on both sides. The Kurdish peace process finally collapsed in 2015 with the spillover of the Syrian civil war. With ISIS moving through northern Iraq, Turkey has declared war on Western allies such as the Kurdish YPG (People s Protection Unit) the military who rescued the Yezidis and fought with US backing in Kobane.
