Dear colleagues, 

The University of Roehampton Social Science department’s Autumn term lunchtime seminar series concludes this coming Wednesday (13th December), with a paper presentation by Professor Sandra Walklate (University of Liverpool). Professor Walklate is a world-renowned criminologist who has published widely on subjects including gender and crime, and the criminology of war. On Wednesday, Sandra will be presenting new work on the changing nature of the ‘deviant’ male soldier (abstract below). The seminar will take place in Duchesne 209, from 1-1:50PM, and will be chaired by Professor John Lea and myself. Please find a poster for the event attached – we look forward to seeing some of you there.

 

 

The ‘deviant’ military male has historically and contemporarily been put in the frame for political and policy interventions.  This paper will explore the changing nature of the ‘deviant’ soldier, and what this focus makes visible and leaves invisible for criminological accounts of crime, violence and victimisation. By drawing upon examples of 'deviant' soldiers from Vietnam and Afghanistan this paper will consider alternative possibilities for thinking about the ‘deviant soldier’ and their relationship with masculinity.

 ​

Best wishes,
