Critical military studies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Critical Military Studies is a new academic sub-discipline which brings critical theory to the study of military institutions and practices.[1] It intersects with many academic disciplines, such as international relations, political science, gender studies, human geography and anthropology.[1] Academic conferences in 2013 and 2014 have included panels on Critical Military Studies.[2][3] The sub-discipline also has a new academic journal published by Taylor and Francis.[4] Scholarship on Critical Military Studies includes issues such as military recruitment [5][6] and military landscapes.[7] Critical Military Studies is particularly concerned with how understandings of gender and sexuality shape military practices and research on the military.[3]
