Women and Democracy in Latin America
2025-03-11 12:30 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | International Affairs Building (IAB802), 420 West 118th Street, Room IAB802, New York, NY, 10027, United States
Bringing together voices from Latin American politics, civil society, and the university for a fresh conversation on women and democracy.

On March 11, we’re bringing together voices from Latin American politics, civil society, and the university for a fresh conversation on Women and Democracy in Latin America.
Across the Western Hemisphere, organizations and movements have emerged that are focused on issues facing women in the public square, themes like leadership development, representation in politics, and online violence. What do these initiatives signal about changes in the broader political landscape and the emergence of new political leadership? How do they interact with traditional political structures and forms of participation? What is the promise of this new wave of civic participation for democratic resilience across the region? Join us for a discussion which features reflections on these questions and others, drawn from experiences of leaders and experts on the region

Demasculinizing Russian “Politics of Loneliness"
2025-03-10 16:30 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | S250, CGIS South Building, 1730 Cambridge Street, 1730 Cambridge Street, Room S250, Cambridge, MA, 02138, United States
The study examines the alienation of femininity as depicted in Russian street posters from before and after Russia’s attack on Ukraine.

In the context of contemporary Russian sovereigntism and revanchism, loneliness emerges as gendered, masculine anxiety that fuels Russian nationalism in world politics. To support this argument and explore the Russian case, Sergei Apokov argues that while representations of the Russian nation are feminized, the Russian state appears masculinized. The study examines the alienation of femininity as depicted in Russian street posters photographed between 2021 and 2023, before and shortly after Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine. These posters are analyzed as “dialectical collages,” which can be seen as a crucial step in preparing Russian society for war. Drawing on research conducted with Ekaterina Donskikh, Dr. Apokov also analyzes 29 videos of Vladimir Putin’s speeches to demonstrate how gendered humor is employed to address Russian masculine ontological insecurities and reinforce a heteronormative order in both foreign and domestic policy.
Deconstructing Russia’s masculine politics of loneliness provides an opportunity to envision an alternative, less gender binary and more gender-fluid conceptualization of Russian identity in global politics. Furthermore, the study of anxieties surrounding loneliness offers new insights and empirical evidence to explain why different segments of Russian society—from elites and the atomized populace to the anti-war diaspora in exile—find themselves in diverse “tidal pools of loneliness” and “regimes of truth.”
