And yet too often their experience is adopted and used. This has been the case of the women of Kosovo, whose bodies are seen as embodying the nation and whose suffering is recast as national heroism.\n \nSexual violence is not a side effect of war. It\u2019s a means of war. And if you study the intersection of public policy, social justice, and wartime sexual violence as an academic, it\u2019s hard not to be an activist, too.\n\nOur guests include Michael Kennedy, professor of sociology at Brown University and the author of Globalizing Knowledge: Intellectuals, Universities, and Publics in Transformation, and Albanian sociologist Linda Gusia, chair of the Program in Gender Studies and Research at University of Prishtina.\n\nYou can read a transcript of this episode here: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dXVJxV2wjYD6gfvCpqgbkf9fAlD6Pvjq/view?usp=sharing]","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/2c55e1e1-b9c4-4e66-a85a-f89d1474d7d2/artworks-000233989250-rni25o-t3000x3000.jpg"}
