Ed Meagher brings us back to a January day in the Philippines, one week before he was deployed to Vietnam.

One night In 1968, Ed Meagher was finishing his last shift at Clark Airways, which included authenticating and repeating messages for the nuclear-armed B-52 fleet in Southeast Asia. 

Then his phone lines started dinging, with signal after signal — and he couldn’t figure out why none were a match. 

This monologue is the second in our series with <a href="https://thewarhorse.org/">The War Horse</a>.

Monologues (The War Horse Sessions): One Step From Nuclear War, and I Didn’t Even Know It

This month on Things That Go Boom, we’re passing the mic to three veterans to share their memories in their words. In this first entry: When paratrooper Bill Glose came home from the Gulf War after leading his platoon, silence was his fortress. That all changed when a friend suggested he start writing poetry. The story is part of a new partnership with the news site The War Horse. The site publishes real stories from veterans that look war in the eye, rough edges and all. If you haven't heard of them, <a href="https://thewarhorse.org/">be sure to check them out</a>.

Bringing it Home

Political Scientist Cynthia Enloe is, arguably, the reason we’re all here.

It’s been lost in a sea of nuances around feminism and feminist foreign policy. Leading to misunderstandings like so many we’ve seen this season on Things That Go Boom. Misunderstandings like the sense among some that feminism is just about turning things around and subjugating men. Or that a man could never be a feminist, let alone carry out a feminist foreign policy.On this episode of Things That Go Boom, where are the women, really?And where do we go from here?GUESTS: Cynthia Enloe, Clark UniversityADDITIONAL RESOURCES: <a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520279995/bananas-beaches-and-bases">Bananas, Beaches and Bases: Making Feminist Sense of International Politics</a>, Cynthia Enloe<a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520397675/twelve-feminist-lessons-of-war">Twelve Feminist Lessons of War</a>, Cynthia Enloe<a href="https://www.osce.org/secretariat/539873">The Invisible Frontline: How the Fight for Women’s Rights Changes in Times of War</a>, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe

Cynthia Enloe was the first to ask "Where are the women?" But states with feminist foreign policies have tried to answer that question and fallen short. What now?

Political Scientist Cynthia Enloe is, arguably, the reason we’re all here. She was one of the first to explore gender in international relations, and the first to ask, “Where are the women?”

But what she meant when she asked that question? It’s been lost in a sea of nuances around feminism and feminist foreign policy. Leading to misunderstandings like so many we’ve seen this season on Things That Go Boom. 

Misunderstandings like the sense among some that feminism is just about turning things around and subjugating men. Or that a man could never be a feminist, let alone carry out a feminist foreign policy.

On this episode of Things That Go Boom, where are the women, really?

And where do we go from here?

Where Are the Women, Really?

As civilian casualties mount in Gaza and many more conflicts around the world kill and displace vulnerable people, we ask, "What can feminist foreign policy do about war crimes?"The international community doesn’t have a great track record of timely intervention to stop atrocities. But one-sided military intervention can also be a recipe for disaster. In this episode, we hear from activists in Rwanda and Afghanistan about how their work protects the vulnerable and what they wish international feminists would do differently. And we hear from an expert on international hierarchies about how feminist foreign policy fits into the long history of attempts to end genocide — and who intervention has historically served.GUESTS: <a href="https://rwandawomensnetwork.org/meet-mary">Mary Balikungeri</a>, Director and Founder of Rwanda Women’s Network; <a href="https://research.manchester.ac.uk/en/persons/toni-haastrup">Dr. Toni Haastrup</a>, Chair in Global Politics at the University of Manchester; Salma, activist with the Revolutionary Association of the Women of AfghanistanADDITIONAL RESOURCES:<a href="https://rwandawomensnetwork.org/">The Rwanda Women’s Network</a><a href="http://www.rawa.org/index.php">The Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA)</a><a href="https://africanarguments.org/2023/07/statement-of-intent-on-feminist-informed-policies-abroad-and-at-home/">Statement of Intent on Feminist Informed Policies Abroad and at Home</a>, The African Feminist Collective on Feminist Informed Policies<a href="https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide-convention.shtml">The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide</a>, UN<a href="https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/about-responsibility-to-protect.shtml">Background on the Responsibility to Protect</a>, UN<a href="https://www.un.org/womenwatch/osagi/wps/">Women Peace and Security Agenda (UN Resolution 1325)</a>, UNOn May 19, 2024 there was an attempted coup in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the government there alleges that American citizens were involved in the plot.

What feminism tells us about how to stop genocide.

As civilian casualties mount in Gaza and many more conflicts around the world kill and displace vulnerable people, we ask, "What can feminist foreign policy do about war crimes?"

The international community doesn’t have a great track record of timely intervention to stop atrocities. But one-sided military intervention can also be a recipe for disaster. 

In this episode, we hear from activists in Rwanda and Afghanistan about how their work protects the vulnerable and what they wish international feminists would do differently. And we hear from an expert on international hierarchies about how feminist foreign policy fits into the long history of attempts to end genocide — and who intervention has historically served.
