The Military in our Midst - with Vron Ware and Antonia Dawes
Update: 2019-07-29
Description
We talk to academics Vron Ware and Antonia Dawes about their ongoing project with Mitra Pariyar: a two-year study of an army town in Wiltshire. We discuss why and how significant policy changes over the last ten years are changing the relationship between military and civilian communities, and the impacts of relocating thousands of soldiers from Germany to newly expanded ‘super-garrisons’ in rural England. Join us as we discuss:
- What led Vron and Antonia into studying military affairs
- Commonwealth recruits or 'military migrants'
- What their ‘Military in our Midst’ project entails
- What is behind the Army Basing programme
- What it’s like for civilians to live in an Army town
- Divisions between ranks and between personnel and civilians
- The potential impacts for personnel and their families relocating from Germany
- The environmental impacts of the ‘super-garrison’
- Barriers in their research, and personal highlights
