Description: The theme of this year's International Women’s Day is 'Strength of a Woman: Press for Progress'. Across the world, women are making positive and empowered progress every day. All progress, however small or ordinary it may seem, is one more positive step towards reaching gender equality. In this podcast, we will be exploring the advent of female engagement teams in military situations with Major Nicki Bass, women as perpetrators of terrorist activities and the work of women in counterterrorism since 9/11 with Dr Joana Cook, and the growing importance of the study of gender relations in the military with Dr Andrea Ellner.
