Critical Military Studies as Method: An Approach to Studying Gender and the Military

Abstract

Basham and Bulmer offer an introduction to the ways that Critical Military Studies (CMS) asks new questions about gender and its relationship with military institutions, militarisation and military power. The chapter argues that a CMS approach challenges feminists to interrogate the limits of established feminist concepts such as ‘militarised masculinity’ and to recognise that gendered boundaries routinely fail and are contested by people in proximity to military power. It concludes with an exploration of the ways in which a CMS approach to gender and the military opens up space to think differently about resistance and feminist praxis within and outside the academy.
