Notes
1 For the sake of this chapter, the term “malestream” will be employed to refer to bodies of scholarship that do not engage substantively with gendered work. See Youngs (Citation2004) for more detail on this usage.
3 There are exceptions to this account, such as Weber (Citation1994).
4 I suspect, however, that many of those scholars may tell you that they have been accused of doing insufficiently “serious” IR work for this reason.
5 This being said, there is clearly much more to be done. Although the all-male panel or contributor list is an increasingly endangered species, feminist IR continues to have a lot of work to do on race, class, disability, and a wide range of other areas. This is particularly the case in relation to undergraduate course syllabi (Colgan Citation2017; Maliniak et al. Citation2018).
