Seeking Peace

Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security

Peace is not something constructed in a room only by men. It takes a range of voices, perspectives and diverse practices. Seeking Peace is a podcast that explores the role of women around the world in bringing lasting peace to their communities. Women are too often seen as victims of conflict. But they are leaders and often unsung heroes. On this show, we bring you the stories of women breaking gender barriers and changing society. Episodes explore the roles women play in their local communities, in peace negotiations, in politics and more. This podcast is a production of Georgetown’s Institute for Women, Peace and Security. It's in partnership with the United Nations Department of Peace Operations, and Our Secure Future. It's produced by Wonder Media Network.

Listen to the last episode:

In the final episode of the season, we bring you a fascinating conversation between Major General Maureen O’Brien, the Deputy Military Adviser in the United Nations Office of Military Affairs, Department of Peace Operations and Dr. Robert Egnell, a senior fellow with the Security Studies Program and the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security. General O’Brien’s extensive career began over forty years ago when she joined the Irish Defense Forces as one of only six women at the time. The two of them discuss her position as a pioneer throughout her career, the challenges women still face in the military and the pursuit of full inclusion and meaningful participation of women in peacekeeping.

This episode was produced by Alana Herlands, Alex Jhamb Burns, and Alesandra Tejeda. It was scored, mixed, and mastered by Alex Jhamb Burns and edited by Grace Lynch.

Season three of Seeking Peace is produced by Georgetown University’s Institute for Women, Peace and Security and Wonder Media Network, in collaboration with the United Nations Department of Peace Operations and Our Secure Future.
