This conversation draws upon two recently published articles written by Heleen Touquet and Philipp Schulz“Navigating vulnerabilities and masculinities: How gendered contexts shape the agency of male sexual violence survivors”, Security Dialogue and “Queering explanatory frameworks for wartime sexual violence against men” in International Affairs.

In today’s episode, you’ll be hearing about:

  • the necessity to break the binaries and keep in mind the messiness of the lived experiences;
  • survivors’ agency is shaped and conditioned by different opportunity structures;
  • binary strategy/opportunism categorizations imply broader unintended political consequences & further marginalize those acts of sexual violence that fall outside the dominant scripts;
  • the importance of working in collaboration and in a trauma-informed way;
  • queering knowledge production about conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence – how do we read testimonies and how does our own positionality in terms of gender and sexuality influence how we see the world and interpret testimonies;
  • and – as usual – some good reading suggestions.
