Hear from Ms. Michelle Strucke, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Global Partnerships in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (Policy), in her keynote address ‘WPS as a Critical Tool for Advancing National Security’.

U.S. Naval War College (NWC) hosts its 9th annual Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Symposium, 26 – 28 April 2023. This year’s theme “WPS in a Fragile World: Perspectives on Warfighting, Crisis Management, and Post-Conflict Transitions” brought together U.S. and international scholars, researchers, civilian and military practitioners, and leaders to share their knowledge centered around the gender perspective. Established in 1884, U.S. Naval War College (NWC) informs today’s decision-makers and educates tomorrow’s leaders by providing educational experiences and learning opportunities that develop their ability to anticipate and prepare strategically for the future, strengthen the foundations of peace, and create a decisive warfighting advantage.
