Section Chair:

Brooke A. Ackerly (Ph.D. Stanford University) is Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Vanderbilt University. Her research interests include democratic theory, cross-cultural human rights theory, feminist theory, social criticism, and feminist methodologies and methods. She integrates into her theoretical work empirical research on human rights, credit programs, and women’s activism transnationally.

Her feminist theory is informed by critical, queer, post-colonial, post-modern, and cross-cultural critical perspectives.

Her publications include Political Theory and Feminist Social Criticism (Cambridge University Press, 2000), “Women’s Human Rights Activists as Cross-Cultural Theorists,” International Journal of Feminist Politics (2001), and “Is Liberal Democracy the Only Way? Confucianism and Democracy” Political Theory (2005). Feminist Methodologies for International Relations edited with Jacqui True and Maria Stern is forthcoming in May 2006. Her current major project is tentatively titled, Universal Human Rights in a World of Difference.



Program Chair: Dr Gunhild Hoogensen is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Tromsø, Norway. She holds a Ph.D. in Political Science specializing in International Relations and Comparative Politics from the University of Alberta, Canada. Her main research interest is the application of the human security concept, informed by gender and indigenous perspectives, to the Arctic context. Dr. Hoogensen leads the "Human Security in the Arctic" project along with her Norwegian and Canadian colleagues Dr. Dawn Bazely (York University), Dr. David Malcolm (Arctic Energy Alliance) and Dr. Geir Wing Gabrielsen (Norwegian Polar Institute). The project is currently investigating the impacts of oil and gas development on Arctic peoples (indigenous and non-indigenous) through the concept of human security. The project is multidisciplinary, including political science, geography, biology, ecotoxicology and engineering. Her other current research investigates relations of security, the applicability of human security to terrorist networks, and a book co-authored with Dr. Bruce Solheim on women world leaders (forthcoming, Praeger publishers). Her book International Relations, Security, and Jeremy Bentham (Routledge) was released July 2005, with other articles most recently appearing in Security Dialogue, Canadian Foreign Policy, and International Studies Review.

I am a fourth year PhD student in International Relations with a concentration in Culture, Gender and Global Society. My academic interests are in international theory, gender, race, feminisms, globalization, body politics, and Latin America. I expect to go into the field shortly and graduate in June 2008. I have been either a research assistant or a teaching assistant for the last 5 years. Service work is very important to me, and during graduate school I have held positions on the board of our graduate student association, been a delegate to the graduate student senate, and been a volunteer programmer on a feminist radio show. Currently, I am an active member of the Graduate Students of Color Network at USC, and I have recently co-organized a day-long workshop on research funding, for graduate students in the social sciences. I would be pleased to serve as a student representative to the FTGSS, especially since I recently read all of the past news letters and came to realize what an achievement it has been to establish a thriving section that graduate students like myself can take for granted. I would be particularly interested in fostering support for mentorship within FTGSS.

Florida State scored cheap nfl jerseys a big victory over Miami on Saturday as it marked the seventh straight time the ‘Noles defeated the Hurricanes. More so, UM was a consensus NFL Jerseys top-10 team which bodes well for Florida State’s new rankings.
