Although the integration of gender perspectives has, at least on paper, been a prominent aspect of peacebuilding for several decades, there has often been little or no attention paid to the inclusion of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions (SOGIE) in theory, policy, research or practice. Using the case studies of Colombia and Syria, the lecture examines some of the complexities of ‘queering‘ peacebuilding and different forms of agency as well as vulnerabilities of persons of diverse SOGIE in violent conflict, displacement and peacebuilding.
