Dr. Elizabeth Corredor, Ph.D., is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science at Bryn Mawr College. Her teaching and research center on the inclusion of – and resistance to – women’s and LGBTQ+ rights in peace and security, specifically focusing on the Americas. Her book manuscript “Gender Justice, Resistance, and the Politics of Peace in Colombia” examines the 2010-2016 Colombian peace negotiations to unearth how women’s and LGBTIQ+ groups’ agendas were accepted, co-opted, and/or resisted within the negotiations and final agreement. Dr. Corredor is the recipient of the 2022 American Political Science Association’s Best Dissertation Award in Women, Gender, and Politics, and has been published in Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, Latin American Politics and Society, and International Negotiation: A Journal of Theory and Practice.
LGBTQ+ rights are in danger around the world as illiberal and populist politics and attitudes spread. Women, Peace, and Security initiatives should include LGBTQ+ communities in order to protect their rights.
