Welcome to our podcast “The Future is Female: Women in International Relations.” We are two women at Claremont Mckenna College creating a podcast series for the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies. We were inspired to create this podcast to learn more about how cultures around the world impact female leadership in politics. Our episodes focus on changing sentiments for female leadership in international relations, female representation and gender quotas in government, women’s participation in conflict resolution, and solutions to issues that women face in the world today.
