Some of the themes I would like to study in this course are: Eleanor Roosevelt's role in the peace process during World War II and the post-war period. I have always been interested in Eleanor Roosevelt as a historical figure, how she influenced the New Deal programs during Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency and how she was interested in social justice in the domestic agenda of her husband's presidency. Nonetheless I do not know much about her role in international affairs, like the peace process during World War II and the post war-period.
I am also interested in learning more about the role of women in recent issues related to peace, like for example the group "Code Pink" and their use of creative tactics of civil disobedience in demonstrating against the Iraq War. Also I would like to research groups like Mothers Against War ("MAW") that were organized as a reaction to the War in Iraq and that use the Internet to create a network of women who oppose the war around the world.
