Why is it important to give women a voice in the study of war and security? Are women considered in military strategies and post-conflict reconstruction? In this special edition for International Women's Day, we talk to Dr Amanda Chisholm about the role of women in conflict, discussing her latest book 'The Gendered and Colonial Lives of Gurkhas in Private Security: From Military to Market'. Dr Chisholm also talks about her experience as a researcher in Gender and Security Studies, exploring the main challenges women face in academia and how we could break inequalities.
