Life
[edit]Eduards earned her PhD in 1985 with a dissertation on regional cooperation between Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya in the period 1962–1984. In 1996 she was appointed as professor of political science at Stockholm University. She was also professor of gender studies at the University of Oslo's Centre for Women's Studies/Centre for Women's and Gender Studies from 1999 to 2004. She is professor emerita of political science at Stockholm University.[1][2]
Eduards is known for her research on women, peace and security policy. Her research has covered women's organization, women and politics, power relationships, violence against women, and resistance to change within organisations and structures.[2][3] She has also investigated how gender relates to armed conflicts, Swedish security policy and militarization.[2][4] Eduards has argued that the use of the phrase "women and children" in relation to armed conflicts increases women's vulnerability, and reduces their agency, and that by treating women and children as one group it hides the different types of violence that women and children are subjected to.[5]
A Festschrift in her honour titled Kön, makt, nation was published by Stockholm University in 2011.[6]
