Among other research projects, this research group focuses right now on a three-year project focussing on studies done in the field of the testimony of war, specifically Canadian participation in recent wars: discursive representation (truth of war activity, singularity of the experience, organizational influences of the discourse, studies on testimony as a genre); and identity issues (identification to the soldier, heroisms and failures, masculinity, equity, training, education, ethics).
