About the Conference
Shaping Defence 2025 is a student-led research conference that explores the intersection of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in military operations. Hosted at Carleton University and supported by the Canadian Defence and Security Network (CDSN), this conference provides a platform for emerging scholars to present cutting-edge research that informs the future of defence policy and practice.
