This week, Rachelle Vessey @rachellevessey.bsky.social will talk about "Gender ideologies in workplace surveys: The case of the Canadian military" Join us on March 13 at 16 EET (check the time zone!): tinyurl.com/talkosso @lulind.bsky.social @ylvabiri.bsky.social

The military has been identified as a gendered space where hypermasculinity seems to be a potential predictor of sexual violence and impropriety (Bonnes, 2024; Duval Lantoine, 2022; Eichler, 2019; Pershing, 2003; Stachowitsch, 2013). In Canada, while the Canadian Armed Forces institutionally espouses gender equality, in practice problems relating to gender-based harm seem “intractable” (Rubenfeld and Lucas, 2025, p. 2). The persistence of these problems could be, in part, the result of discursive practices that reinstantiate a gender-based divide in banal and mundane ways. Using a discursive approach to sexual violence and impropriety (Ehrlich, 2001; Kitzinger & Thomas, 1995), this paper identifies gender ideologies, i.e., normalized beliefs and values about gender that are shared throughout Canadian servicemembers’ language use. These gender ideologies tend to underpin arguments about sexual violence and impropriety in the Canadian military. Using a 1.6-million-word corpus of short answer responses to military surveys, corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS) is used to examine gendered representations, comparing and contrasting these across subsets of data produced by male and female servicemembers. Findings reveal both explicit representations via overuse of gendered labels and more subtle mechanisms of representations via metaphor and personal pronouns. The paper concludes by highlighting the role of gendered ideologies in attempts to discredit accounts of sexual violence and impropriety.

Canadian Association of University Teachers recommends that academics travel to the US "only if essential and necessary", and to be careful about what information we have on our electronic devices, especially if you fit into a fairly wide set of categories. www.caut.ca/latest/2025/...

Text of CAUT advice:

Given the rapidly evolving political landscape in the United States and reports of individuals encountering difficulties crossing the border, CAUT strongly recommends that academic staff travel to the U.S. only if essential and necessary.

In addition, CAUT recommends that academics who fall into the following categories exercise particular caution:

Citizens or residents of a country identified in media reports as likely to be subject to a travel ban
Citizens or residents of a country where there are diplomatic tensions with the U.S.
Travellers with passport stamps evidencing recent travel to countries that may be subject to a travel ban or where there are diplomatic tensions with the U.S.
Those who have expressed negative opinions about the current U.S. administration or its policies
Those whose research could be seen as being at odds with the position of the current U.S. administration
Travellers who identify as transgender or whose travel documents indicate a sex other than their sex assigned at birth
Academics should carefully consider what information they have, or need to have, on their electronic devices when crossing borders and take actions to protect sensitive information where necessary.
