Il souligne les efforts de la Marine Royale du Canada pour premièrement influencer les mesures américaines et ensuite les mesures de l'alliance pour contrer la nouvelle menace des sous-marines lancemissiles du milieu à la fin des années 1950s. Malgré le fait que les intérêts nord américaines et européennes ont divergé et que les ressources ont décalées, les forces maritimes canadiennes ont continué à jouer un rôle diplomatique dans la rassurance des européens d'un engagement nord américain envers leur défense.

Research paper thumbnail of How emerging trends in historiography expose the Canadian Army’s past discriminatory practices and provide hope for future change

International Journal: Canada's Journal of Global Policy Analysis

This “lessons learned” article examines how emerging trends over time in the historiography of th... more This “lessons learned” article examines how emerging trends over time in the historiography of the Canadian Army have challenged and continue to challenge the white Anglophone masculine heterosexual culture which is especially associated with its combat units. This study began as an examination of the intersection between the historiography and the current priorities for sufficient female participation in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) which are intended to improve past abusive patriarchal practices and create effective and safe international interventions. Gender and sexual abuses were the initial foci, but the historiography revealed the interconnectedness of widespread discriminations against all “others”—defined here as anyone with a different gender, sexuality, race, language, religion, or culture. The article opens with a brief summary of evolving feminist ideas about security forces in general. It then delves into the historiographical trends which have demonstrated how syst...

Research paper thumbnail of A re-assessment of the Royal Canadian Navy’s 1948 northern voyages into Hudson Bay and its place in oceanographic research

Drawing upon scientific papers, it adds to the existing historical literature about this voyage, showing how some officials and scientists attempted to utilize the voyage for humanitarian, social, economic and other purposes beyond security and defence. It also critically examines how a westernized masculine faith in science and technology drove Cold War anxieties and developments, justifying military and naval invasions of the sparsely populated northern areas. The article, moreover, exposes how the bipolar dynamic influenced decision-making, taking attention away from a vital consideration of local peoples, their lifestyles and the conservation of natural resources.

Le travail mené par Alexandre Lanoix nous paraît très éclairant sur les possibles représentations sociales des enseignantes et enseignants d'histoire du Québec. Son exposition est faite d'une manière très illustrée afin de présenter les nuances dans les propos des participantes et participants et les contours qui semblent se dessiner entre les deux groupes, tout en ne nous faisant pas perdre de vue les objectifs qui sous-tendent cette enquête. Il nous donne l'heure juste en rappelant que les enseignantes et enseignants sont des membres de la société et qu'ils ne sont pas détachés de la collectivité québécoise et de ses idées sur l'enseignement de l'histoire (99). En concluant, nous ne pouvons qu'être d'accord avec l'auteur lorsqu'il rappelle la nécessité de mener des recherches avec des échantillons plus nombreux afin de vérifier la présence de ces représentations sociales dans la population générale des enseignantes et enseignants d'histoire du Québec (107). Nous appuyons également l'idée d'effectuer davantage de recherches portant sur la transposition de ces représentations sociales dans la pratique réelle de l'enseignement de l'histoire, notamment en raison des apparentes « contradictions » ou quêtes d'équilibre entre les finalités (107). Ce faisant, le portrait de l'enseignement réel de l'histoire du Québec dans les salles de classe sera davantage tangible et permettra, peut-être, de calmer les esprits participant aux débats entourant l'enseignement de l'histoire au Québec.

Research paper thumbnail of Exemplary Canadians? How Two Canadian Women Remember Their Roles in a Cold War Military Family

Journal of the Canadian Historical Association

Whole life history methodology reveals complexities and contradictions with regard to idealized families, generational differences, and polarized gender roles that might remain otherwise hidden when relying primarily on archival sources. This process peels back the idealized middle-class family of post-war elite proponents and it exposes points of intersection and difference with the historiography of Canadian Cold War families in general, and military families in particular. Their contrasting stories are not intended to represent the thousands of individual military family lives; rather, the reiteration of these oral histories highlights the unique McMillan family stories and reveals how military service, personnel policies, gender, age, class, education, culture, geographic location, pla...
