018 - Thematic Session. The Military and Sexuality
Sat, August 22, 8:30 to 10:10am, TBASession Submission Type: Invited Session
Abstract
Some issues at the intersection of the military and sexuality have been longstanding, such as infidelity among deployed troops and their spouses. Others are in the current news almost daily, such as sexual assault (particularly at the service academies) and the integration of women in combat units (which is the subject of a separate presidential session). There is an emerging literature on the impact of the recent lifting of the ban on gays serving openly, but there remain unresolved issues, such as the adaptation of the military to same sex families.
