Abstract

I will address the common ground between and potential utility of an alliance of feminist work in security and SAE work, particularly in light of Basu’s resolution of some of the tensions traditionally identified by feminist scholars. I will then talk about some areas of remaining concern for me, particularly with SAE’s focus on the individual as the ultimate referent of security praxis and with the epistemological, ontological, and political implications of relying on the idea of emancipation as a logic for changing the way that we (as people, as scholars, and as policy-makers) approach security.
