DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr Jenny Hedström explores the Kachin revoluti
 on in Myanmar from the perspective of female soldiers\, female activists
 \, and women displaced by the violence in northern Myanmar.\n\nHedström 
 argues that the household is an inherently gendered\, militarized\, and 
 political space that impacts\, and is in turn impacted by\, the external
  conflict with which it coexists. In this context\, women's everyday lab
 our—the gendered work of childcare\, farming\, fighting\, and forging co
 nnections both across households and between the household and the army 
 and the nation—is key to revolutionary survival.\n\nHedström calls this 
 labour militarized social reproduction\, and in her new book Reproducing
  Revolution she demonstrates that such labour is critical to the militar
 y effort\, and that warfare itself is shaped through everyday domestic a
 ction.\n\nCopies of Jenny Hedström’s new book\, Reproducing Revolution: 
 Women's Labor and the War in Kachinland (2025\, Cornell University Press
 ) will be on sale at the event. Read about the book.\n\nSPEAKER\n\nJenny
  Hedström is an Associate Professor in War Studies at the Swedish Defenc
 e University. Her research concerns the relationship between households\
 , gender\, and warfare\; gender\, transitions\, and peacebuilding\; wome
 n’s activism and resistance\; and ethics and methods when researching wa
 r\, with a focus on civil wars in Myanmar.\n\nHer staff page is at: http
