Bio: (1934-2019) British feminist theorist. Cynthia Cockburn taught at the City University London and the University of Warwick. In her work, she theoretically connects the fields of gender studies and peace studies. Cockburn was engaged in the feminist peace movement. She conducted several qualitative empirical studies in conflict countries: Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Israel and Palestine, and Cyprus. In addition to these countries, she published a study on the world women's peace movement. She also dealt with the topics of local government, the relationship between gender and the work process, gender division of labor and changes in work, changes in trade unions, as well as the relationship between gender and technology. In her book Looking to London: Stories of War, Escape and Asylum' (2017), Cockburn presents the results of an empirical study of women who came to London as refugees from war-torn countries.
