Hello!
As this year’s Co-Presidents, we are so excited to launch the brand new WIIS-Queen’s website and blog! We would also like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves. Morgan Fox is a fourth-year Politics, Philosophy, and Economics student and Jen Kozelj is a fourth-year Global Development student. Morgan has been a part of WIIS since her first year at Queen’s and is interested in conflict, gender, peace, and security. Jen joined WIIS in her second year at Queen's, and is interested in military peace and security, along with agro-food systems. We are both honoured to be 2022-2023 Co-Presidents and couldn’t be more grateful for our team of hardworking individuals supporting us – you can learn more about WIIS members on our "Team" page.
WIIS-Queen’s team has certainly been keeping busy as we enter the second half of the semester. We’re in the midst of planning our first in-person conference since 2019, set for March 11th, 2023 (save the date!). Our annual mentorship program was also launched this past week – if you’re interested in learning more about that and how to participate, check out our Events & Initiatives page. We were also delighted to see so many faces at our panel event that took place on November 17 regarding Far-Right Extremism Through a Gendered Lens in North-America. We are excited to continue fostering these innovative events in our community.
We wish everyone the very best of luck for the remainder of the semester and encourage you all to stay healthy and safe. We look forward to another amazing year with a fantastic team!
Thank you,
Morgan & Jen
