What We're Reading
March 2021 | Celebrating Women’s Contributions to the RESOLVE Network
In honor of Women’s History Month, we are excited to highlight RESOLVE publications by women authors. With rapidly changing and complex dynamics in the study of conflict, security, and violent extremism, the significant contributions of women are often overlooked or misrepresented. At the RESOLVE Network, we recognize that our growth and development are due in no small part to the amazing work of women committed to enhancing and informing P/CVE research, policy, and practice. The publications in this month’s What We’re Reading offer a glimpse at the unique perspectives and critical insights that women authors have brought to RESOLVE.
