This session will explore the distinct empirical and conceptual contributions of sociology to the study of the military and may draw from multiple traditions in the field including analyses of the military as a formal institution (e.g., looking at military policy or governance); a social institution (for instance, examining civil-military relations or the role of the military in Canadian society); or a culture, as well as approaches that focus on military service as a profession (with emphasis on the unique demands of military service on the individual, and families of serving members). Papers relating to the military in the Canadian context are encouraged; however, recognizing that the ‘Canadian context’ is increasingly globalized, papers with an international focus are also welcome.
