DESCRIPTION:Join us for an Annie MacDonald Langstaff workshop with Professo
 r Annie Bunting\, York University.\n\nAbstract\n\nForced marriage has rece
 ntly formed the basis for charges of crimes against humanity in two cases 
 before the International Criminal Court and the Extraordinary Chambers in 
 the Courts of Cambodia. This new crime against humanity – coming within th
 e category of an 'other inhumane act' – was not included in the Rome Statu
 te for the ICC nor the statute establishing the ECCC.\n\nThis paper will f
 irst explore the way in which expectations concerning marriage and gender 
 were mobilized by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in Uganda and by the Kh
 mer Rouge in Cambodia between 1975 and 1979.  While two very different opp
 ressive regimes\, the LRA and the Khmer Rouge raise interesting comparativ
 e analyses of the use of marriage as a tool of war. Second\, this paper wi
 ll take up the defenses' claims in both cases that\, since arranged or for
 ced marriages were commonplace in Uganda and Cambodia\, what happened in w
 ar or under the oppressive regime ought not be found to be a crime against
  humanity. Comparing the institution of marriage in times of peace relativ
 e to its mobilization in conflict puts the questions of consent\, forced l
 abour\, and violence in marriage in sharp relief.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\n
