dc.description.abstractWith the growing importance of diversifying perspectives which frame the security and intelligence field, this study set out to explore the relationship between gender representation and Master’s level intelligence curricula. The purpose was to identify what, if any, examples of gender representation exist using intelligence studies curricula. Using a qualitative explicit content analysis, this research used NVivo to analyze 20 Master’s level course syllabi from Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It was found that the concept of gender is not explicitly addressed in Master’s level syllabi across Canada, the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. These findings demonstrate three clear takeaways. Firstly, it can be established that while gender itself might not be explicitly addressed, diversity may appear as a substitute theme to encompass the broader attempt to include varied perspectives in intelligence studies syllabi. Secondly, the absence of gender included shows that the structure of the majority of course syllabi, either intentionally or unintentionally, adhere to a predominantly traditional masculine approach. Finally, the findings demonstrate that the lack of inclusion of gender is a common phenomenon across intelligence studies syllabi.
