Transforming Military Culture: A Critical Canadian Perspective

Transforming Military Culture: A Critical Canadian Perspective

• Dr. Maya Eichler, Director, Centre for Social Innovation and Community Engagement in Military Affairs, Mount Saint Vincent University, Canada, 
• Dr. Tammy George, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Health Science, School of Kinesiology, York University, Canada, and 
• Dr. Nancy Taber, Professor, Department of Educational Studies, Brock University, Canada

Military culture change is currently a key effort across the 5-Eyes countries. As militaries are shifting their demographics to draw on underrepresented populations to compensate for personnel shortages and respond to societal pressures for greater diversity and inclusion, they are grappling with how and whether to engage in organizational culture change. 

In this presentation by Dr Eichler, Dr George and Dr Taber offer a critical Canadian perspective, examining the limitations and potential of Canadian military culture change efforts, and laying out the promise of an anti-oppression framework, together with trauma-awareness and critical learning, to advance the transformation of the current military culture. 

The presenters lead the Canadian-based international collaborative network Transforming Military Cultures. More information on their work can be found here: www.msvu.ca/tmc
