J’explique comment ce sujet de recherche particulier m’est apparu comme une évidence. J’explore également le contexte national actuel et soutiens comment le Canada mue de son identité de pays pacifiste en un pays militariste. J’étudie la documentation qui relie l’éducation au militarisme, adoptant ainsi une approche féministe antimilitariste, puis je discute de questions portant sur la liberté académiqueen évaluant mon propre établissement universitaire. J’explique maméthodologie et présente le résultat de mes recherches en concluant que les éducateurs doivent continuer à contester le militarisme sexospécifique dans le domaine de l’éducation supérieure ainsi que dans la société en général.  \nCJHE / RCES Volume 44, No. 2, 2014  \nGenerals, colonels, and captains / N. Taber 106  \nIntroduction  \nAs a faculty member at Brock University, a university named for a military leader, I have been continually confronted with the ways in which the university’s connection to its namesake is privileged and integrated into daily life on campus. In August 2011, I happenedupon a photograph on the university’s home webpage, prominently displaying how orientation week was organized by the Students’ Union around an army theme. Students were pictured wearing red t-shirts, with a cartoonish profile of General Brock above the words “Isaac’s Army,” and wearing felt hats made to look like military helmets (Brock News, 2011) . This example reflects other military representations at Brock on campus, such as two larger-than-life paintings of General Brock and Chief Tecumseh at the entrance to Market Hall, the campus’s largest dining hall. Another wall of this cafeteria is covered by a 60-foot mural depicting the Battle of 1812, titled Reverberations (Brock News, 2010) . The valuing of the university’s military connections is problematic eventhough these portrayals may be understandable, given the university is named after a military leader, is located in St. Catharines, Ontario, a site of major battles in the War of 1812, and is involved in the war’s 200th anniversary celebrations.  \nBrock University’s emphasis on the War of 1812 is mirrored atthe local, provincial, and federal levels, which include Niagara events planned to commemorate the war and attract tourist dollars (Niagara 1812 Legacy Council, 2006), an Ontario provincial vote to name October 13 as Major-General Sir Isaac Brock Day (Robbins, 2012), and a “rebranding”(Leblanc, 2012, para. 6) of the Canadian Museum of Civilization to “reshape the country’s major symbols with a greater emphasis on the monarchy and past military achievements”(para. 3), including the War of 1812. All this despite criticisms that a focus on the War","cbCaihEtCFD63vds","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihEtCFD63vds","pdf",471891,13,"English","# Introduction\n## Research question and research approach\n## Canadian context: war commemoration and education-militarism links","[{\"question\":\"What research question does the article raise at the start?\",\"answer\":\"It asks what the implications are of viewing civilian university students as soldiers within an army framework, accompanied by military representations.\"},{\"question\":\"Which universities and setting does the analysis focus on?\",\"answer\":\"The study analyzes four Canadian civilian universities named for military leaders and examines how militaristic ideas are promoted in the Canadian postsecondary context.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the author connect learning discourse with militarism?\",\"answer\":\"Through a feminist discourse analysis, the article explores how educational discourses interact with militarism, drawing on examples of campus and national war-related representations.\"}]","Generals, colonels, and captains - Discourses of militarism, education, and learning in the Canadian university context | PDF",1792083310,33]
