In Gendered Citizenship, Natasha Behl proposes a theory of situated citizenship that makes visible the practices of exclusionary inclusion that explain the gap between women's formal equality in the Indian Constitution and their actual lived experiences of inequality and violence. By focusing on the lived experiences of women, Behl's approach foregrounds reflexivity and meaning-making. In doing so, Behl provides a blueprint for research in political science that centers care and community.

Tens of thousands of children worldwide have been born as a result of mass rape campaigns or wartime sexual exploitation. What about these living legacies of rape and sexual violence? What do we know about these children and their life chances? To explore these and other questions, Challenging Conceptions gathers together an interdisciplinary and international roster of scholars. They include professors and doctoral students in the fields of anthropology, gender studies, history, law, transitional justice, social work, and sociology among others. Some of these practitioners and scholars, as they explain in their chapters, are also themselves women who gave birth to children born of wartime sexual violence. The exchange of their voices and perspectives shines through in this collection to produce new and cutting-edge knowledge on children born of war time sexual violence.
