Ben Wadham (Author) Ben Wadham is a professor in Sociology (Defence and Veteran Studies) at Flinders University in South Australia. He is a veteran of the Australian Army, having served in the Royal Australian Infantry Corps and the Royal Australian Corps of Military Police. Ben is the director of Open Door- Understanding and Supporting Service Personnel and their Families, a research initiative at Flinders University. Ben's research is ethnographic, focusing on the cultural relations of the military organisation, specifically the Australian Defence Force, but also militaries across the Five Eye nations. James Connor (Author) James Connor is an associate professor in the School of Business, UNSW Canberra, located at the Australian Defence Force Academy. James has spent two decades researching militaries and the conduct of men within them. His work started with questioning how loyalty fosters cohesion amongst soldiers, enabling them to fight, but also how that fraternal bonding can lead to malfeasance. This research has since expanded into military scandal, misconduct and the vexed question of gender.
