Description

Has the patriarchal mindset affected the way we portray ourselves, value knowledge and create or sustain work environments in the IR field?
Are we aware of the set of formal or informal rules of engagement we must follow personally or collectively to be perceived as "good professionals" in this or other fields? Do our postures, speech and behaviors change to "fit in" certain masculine/male dominated/logic spaces or environments? Or do we remain consistent across the spaces, environments and social circles? If so or if not, why?
Do we value more knowledge taught in masculine/logic spaces such as universities and think tanks rather than knowledge taught in feminine/intuitive spaces such as community circles or tribes? Do we want the latter to be cheap or free because "we cannot do anything with it"? How is the patriarchal and capitalist systems affecting our perception of knowledge value?
This episode is a new exercise that builds on previous podcast explorations we have shared of how Feminist Theory in IR is connected to the embodied experience of people from different genders studying or working in various areas of Political Science.
