Gender Wars: Power, Protection, and the Politics of Identity
Update: 2025-06-05
Description
In this episode, we turn our focus to the United States, where President Donald Trump has ignited a wave of executive actions targeting gender rights. From policies cloaked in the language of “protecting women” to legislation that could restrict voter access for trans and gender-diverse individuals, these developments raise urgent questions about democracy, identity, and power.
To help us unpack the historical roots and global implications of these policies, we're joined by Claire Somerville, Executive Director of the Gender Centre here at the Geneva Graduate Institute. Together, we’ll explore how gender is being politicised, what’s at stake for marginalised communities, and how similar debates are unfolding beyond U.S. borders.
