It explores two main issues: how international borders have become enforced lines of demarcation and division, reinforcing national identity and impacting national and regional dynamics; and the material and immaterial, discursive and concrete expressions of borders and the impacts of the transformation of bodies into threat to be monitored, as daily lives become sites of border enforcement.

Another axis of debate was among secular and religious women’s organizations. With ICTC support, I will study St. Joan’s International Alliance’s imprint on the construction of international women’s rights norms. Unlike some of the major secular women’s organizations, St. Joan’s, a Catholic feminist organization, appears to have been a tireless advocate for representation from the colonized world. The research will be integrated into a larger book project The Woman Question: The League of Nations and the Shaping of the International Women’s Rights System.
