BGIA Director Elmira Bayrasli Presents to Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Development of Feminist Foreign Policy

Over the Winter Break, Elmira Bayrasli, director of the Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program in New York City, traveled to Santiago, Chile, at the invitation of the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the University of Chile, where she presented on the development of a feminist foreign policy. Chile's new government made a commitment to adopt a feminist foreign policy, following the examples of Sweden, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, and Mexico. (Sweden’s new right wing coalition government has since rescinded the policy.) Chile will unveil its new policy in March. They invited Bayrasli as an expert to present the US perspective on feminist foreign policy, in her capacity as a member of the Coalition for a Feminist Foreign Policy in the United States, as the head of Interruptrr, and as a faculty member at Bard College in Annandale, where she is teaching a class this semester, appropriately called Feminist Foreign Policy.
