Abstract:
In this presentation, Megan MacKenzie will draw out the key contributions of her recent book, Good Soldiers Don't Rape (Cambridge University Press), which focuses on sexual violence within defence forces. The book uses feminist theories of 'rape culture' and institutional gaslighting to identify the key stories, myths, and misconceptions about military sexual violence that have obstructed addressing and preventing it. It includes an analysis of nearly thirty years of media coverage of military sexual violence in three case countries 鈥� the US, Canada and Australia. MacKenzie will relate her book to the recent scandals and high profile cases of sexual misconduct that have plagued the Canadian Forces over the past three years.
