| Background
After 16 plus years of service, I retired from the Canadian Armed Forces in 1995. The military is and probably always will be a big part of who I am. Indeed, as you will see, my research represents a combination of my military experience and academic interests.
I began my university studies at Saint Thomas University where I completed my Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) in Sociology in 1995. My thesis was titled: “The Needs and Issues of Military Wives: A Case Study of Women’s Grassroots Struggle and the State.” My supervisors were Drs. Marilee Reimer and John McKendy. Following my studies at St. Thomas, I completed my Masters in Sociology at McGill University under the supervision of Dr. Peta Tancred. For my Masters, I remained focused on the Canadian Armed Forces but examined the historically invisible and marginalised group - lesbian soldiers. My MA Research Paper was entitled “A Menace to the Gender Order: The Management of Lesbian Sexuality in the Canadian Military.” I am now working on my PhD in Sociology at McGill under the supervision of Dr. Suzanne Staggenborg. For my dissertation, I am examining Canadian Forces female soldier’s experiences and integration.
In addition to my dissertation, I have been collaborating with Carmen on a longitudinal research project investigating the experiences of LGBT soldiers and their partners and the Canadian military. In part, this project was inspired by my MA research, and started back in 1997. It is currently ongoing. We have completed over 120 interviews and we are moving into the analyses and the writing phases.
