Othering of Full-Time and Volunteer Women Firefighters in the Canadian Fire Services
Being discriminated against because of factors such as gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, and stature (i.e., height and weight) has been a common experience for women in traditionally men-dominated/identified occupations. Although women’s representation has risen in other men-dominated domains (Hughes 1995), within firefighting their presence remains extremely low in Canada (4.4% [Statistics Canada 2017]). Women firefighters mostly opera…
A threat to Canadian national security: A lesbian soldier’s story
Before 1992, lesbians and gay soldiers were purged and discharged from the Canadian military for “reasons of homosexuality.” Those caught or suspected of homosexuality were subject to lengthy, humiliating, and degrading interrogations. This short story sheds light on this painful past. It is based on findings of a nationally funded pan-Canadian longitudinal study examining how Canadian military policies and practices influenced the lives of lesbi…
Violating Gender Norms in the Canadian Military: The Experiences of Gay and Lesbian Soldiers
Mobility Boundaries Between Home, Community, and Beyond: Experiences of Exceptionally Old Adults Living in Eastern Canada
Mobility for older people is linked to various meaningful and celebrated ways of ageing, such as maintaining independence, community participation, and quality of life (Metz 2000). In this paper, we examine the lives of people aged 90 and over as they encounter mobility challenges in the face of a particularly neoliberal socio-economic political context. Fifteen Canadians, living independently, were interviewed using the Psycho-Social Ethnography…
Clandestine Existences and Secret Research: Eliminating Official Discrimination in the Canadian Military and Going Public in Academia
The 1990s was a notable decade for lesbians and gays in the Canadian military. Two important changes were the 1992 elimination of the official policy permitting discrimination against homosexual service members, and the 1996 introduction of benefits to same-sex partners. These changes radically influenced the psychological day-to-day reality of lesbian and gay military members. Yet, given the military culture, lesbian and gay members only began t…
Discharged for Homosexuality from the Canadian Military: Health Implications for Lesbians
This study examines the short- and long-term psychological, physical and social health implications associated with pre-1992 investigations and eventual discharge of Canadian military servicewomen for reasons of homosexuality. Theoretically, it sheds light on the impact of the intersection between sexism and heterosexism. The feminist psycho-social ethnography of the commonplace methodology was utilized. The study draws on in-depth semi-structure…
L'ÉCHELLE De Solitude Sociale Et Émotionnelle (Éssé): A French-Canadian Adaptation of the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults
Although there exist many psychological measures in the English language, few of these clinical and research instruments have been translated into French and subsequently validated. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate L'Échelle de Solitude Sociale et Émotionnelle (l'ÉSSÉ). L'ÉSSÉ is a French translation of the short form of the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA-S; DiTommaso, Brannen, & Best, 2004; DiTommaso…
I. It Made Us Think Differently: Unger's `Toward a Redefinition of Sex and Gender
Dear John,1 Thank you for asking me to provide you with some feedback on the latest draft of your History of Psychology text. I assume that you wanted my reaction, especially regarding your inclusion of important figures in the psychology of women area. First, let me commend you for deciding to integrate such a section. It is an important field, which has been ignored by far too many authors of history of psychology textbooks.2 Your choice to spe…
Feminist Psychology in Canada
Recherche sur la violence familiale: Contribution Des Différentes Épistémologies
Knowledge, over the last century, has been grounded mainly in the institution of empirical science. This epistemological tradition is tightly linked to positivism and objectivity. Feminists from various disciplines, including that of Criminology, have become disillusioned in the ability of traditional empiricism to produce knowledge that is relevant, historically and socially, to women, and based in their everyday experience. Feminists have propo…
Part-Time Disabled Lesbian Passing on Roller Blades, or PMS, Prozac, and Essentializing Women's Ailments
This paper discusses the role of the medical and psychiatric systems, as well as the pharmaceutical industry, in the social construction of women's hormonally-related ailments and their treatments. For some marginalised groups, passing as "normal" is a protection strategy against discrimination and maltreatment. Lesbians and invisibly disabled persons are examples of such groups. Given that the reproductive cycle and madness have been linked hist…
