Women Serving in the Armed Forces : Shaping Modern Values and Beyond
Avant le 1er septembre - Maryland (Etats-Unis)
29-30 january 2016, Annapolis, Maryland
Traditionally, women have been excluded from many roles in the military, most especially combat roles. In recent years, however, that has all changed, first unofficially, and finally officially : women have been de facto serving in combat roles for the last decade or so, and the first female candidates have been or in all probability soon will be admitted to Marine Corps Infantry training and the US Army Ranger School. ISME is pleased to accept papers on all aspects of this historical development.
Questions to consider might include :
The right of women to serve in such roles
Gender related moral dilemmas : case studies
Embracing diversity : balancing practical considerations and modern values
Equality and equity in promotion
Moral injuries during and after war : impact of gender on healing
Practical information
