Based on the story of Eveline Herfkens, former minister for development cooperation (1998-2002), the symposium will examine how Minister Herfkens used a feminist approach throughout her career and as minister propagated feminist foreign policy avant la lettre.
The symposium will begin with a lecture by Marene Elgershuizen from the FEPS Young Academic Network Europe.
The lecture will be followed by a conversation about what distinguishes Feminist Foreign Policy from previous approaches and what this policy might look like in practice.
Participating in the conversation are:
- Marene Elgershuizen, FEPS Young Academic Network Europe
- Saskia Ivenes, Feminist Foreign Policy researcher and consultant
- Pascalle Grotenhuis, Ambassador for Women's Rights and Gender Equality, Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Rosalba Icaza, Professor of Global Politics, Feminisms and Decoloniality at the International Institute of Social Studies
