DISSERTATION

Civil War, Social Networks, and Women in Politics.
My dissertation, now a book manuscript, investigates the complex relationship between armed violence and women’s political empowerment. I argue that where civil war violence undermines existing women’s associations, women will construct new female networks that are less hierarchical and culturally constrained than their predecessors. This, in turn, can facilitate broader cooperation, political awareness, and collective action among women in a post-war context.
