Gender and Security Fellowship Program (GSF)
In 2021-2022, the Center, recognizing and addressing the need for diversity and inclusion in programming, jointly sponsored with Pomona College a new program titled Women in Security (WIS), a program designed by CMC Professor Taw. In 2022-2023 the Center continued to solely fund the program under a revised title and scope. Under the supervision of Prof. Taw, the revised program titled Women in Security/Non-Binary Persons in Security Program provided four CMC student fellows with opportunities to explore security as a career. The program supported group research on women and/or non-binary persons in the security field, and the creation of reports on the status of non-binary persons in security. For the academic year 2024-2025, the program will continue under the revised title Gender and Security Fellowship Program. Fellows will have the opportunity to explore security as a career through CMC faculty and other academics and professionals working on security issues as well as CMC alumni who have attended security-related graduate programs. This program will provide fellows with support to conduct independent and group research on the intersection of gender and security and build upon the existing projects on reorientingsecurity.com with either three new research projects or new contributions to the existing projects.
