Book Talk: Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) in US Security Cooperation

Join us for a discussion on the book Women Peace and Security (WPS) in US Security Cooperation. This book focuses on one of the WPS agendas (from UNSCR 1325 to the US WPS Act of 2017), and how it both has been applied in US security cooperation engagements and can be used further to enhance the success of security cooperation efforts. We will be pleased to hear from Dr. Susan Yoshihara followed by light refreshments and drinks. Dr. Susan Yoshihara, the book editor, is founder and president of the American Council on Women Peace and Security. She was a career US Navy helicopter combat logistics pilot, senior advisor at US Northern Command and Defense Security Cooperation University, is on the faculty at the Institute of World Politics, board of the White House Fellows Foundation and Association, and advises the US Confraternity of Catholic Bishops Committee on International Justice and Peace. She earned her BS at the US Naval Academy, MA at the Naval Postgraduate School, MFA at Antioch University, Los Angeles and Ph.D. at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
