Sociology in the Canadian Military Academy Curriculum

Despite its content being perceived as highly relevant to Canadian Forces (CF) leader development and current and future role demands, sociology has not become permanently embedded in the Canadian military college (milcol) curriculum.

description	Despite its content being perceived as highly relevant to Canadian Forces (CF) leader development and current and future role demands, sociology has not become permanently embedded in the Canadian military college (milcol) curriculum. We argue that among other factors, this has been the result of such influences as lack of interest and/or support from academic sociologists outside the military; hegemony of other disciplines within the military; reaction of the military system to sociological topics and results; the number and organization of uniformed and civilian sociologists internally; and the failure of military sociologists to adequately market themselves or to follow up on the gains they have made. Notwithstanding, the authors note that recent developments both outside and inside the military college environment offer some promise of improved prospects for sociology (and anthropology): preferably, within a more multidisciplinary instructional context.
