Colonel Gaétan Bédard
We firmly believe that research is essential to meeting the complex and everchanging challenges facing our society.
I am pleased to present the annual report on the research activities of Royal Military College Saint-Jean (RMC Saint-Jean) (2021–2023). During this period, we have enjoyed many successes and made significant strides in our commitment to academic excellence, cutting-edge research and the valorization of intellectual work within our institution.
One of the highlights occurred on 9 June 2021 when the province recognized RMC Saint-Jean’s university status. This is a testament to the quality of our academic programs and the intellectual rigour that characterizes our approach to higher education. It reinforces our position as a leading institution of higher learning, offering a quality education that stands out as among the best in the academic world.
The introduction of an innovative new program in Geopolitics and Climate Science will provide future leaders of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) with specialized education in a field that is crucial to global security. By integrating in-depth knowledge, we will train a new generation of decision-makers who are aware of the geopolitical issues linked to environmental challenges.
These developments reflect the importance that our institution places on research. We firmly believe that research is essential to meeting the complex and ever-changing challenges facing our society. By encouraging interdisciplinary research and facilitating partnerships with other institutions and organizations, we foster the emergence of new knowledge and innovative solutions. et de solutions innovantes.
Academic excellence remains at the heart of our concerns. We strive to maintain the highest standards in teaching and research. Our dedicated and talented faculty, made up of recognized experts in their respective fields, continue to guide our students in their academic and personal development. We also encourage critical thinking and intellectual curiosity in our students, so as to develop future leaders capable of facing the complex challenges of our fast-changing world.
In conclusion, I would like to express my gratitude to all those who contribute to academic excellence and research at Royal Military College Saint-Jean. Our commitment to cutting-edge research, intellectual rigour and the valorization of intellectual work remains steadfast.

Ultimately, however, it is the endeavours of our researchers that make the difference.
A key objective of the College Strategic Plan is to support research, create knowledge and facilitate learning. This report demonstrates that the faculty of Saint-Jean are achieving concrete research results. Our faculty’s publications, reports, conferences and research grants are impressive and ever-growing. The number of publications and conferences on topics including climate science, human performance, peace and stabilization operations, the governance of emerging technologies, international law and migration, geo-strategic confrontation, Russia’s war against Ukraine, military officer education models—to name but a few—continues to grow, with distinction.
The benefits of this research are numerous. It enhances the reputation of the College and builds on the achievements of university status. It contributes to the critical thinking and analytical skills of our faculty and students. It helps to grow our links with other universities and partners. The Centre for Security and Crisis Governance (CRITIC) has organized a regular rhythm of conferences and exchanges that have contributed to our research culture. RMC Saint-Jean has also pursued a range of measures to support research. The work of the Deanship of Research in developing a new research strategy, the important contributions of employees of the Research Bureau, the review work of the Ethics Committee, the creation of the Committee of Research and Graduate Studies (CRGS) as well as enhanced coordination with partners, including the Fonds de Recherche du Quebec, have collectively provided support to our researchers. Ultimately, however, it is the endeavours of our researchers that make the difference. This report confirms that these efforts are paying dividends. We salute our faculty for devoting themselves to this cause. Well done !

Message from the Dean of Research
Roch Legault
Since the last RMC Saint-Jean research report, research activities and their management have been carried out in a completely different environment. RMC Saint-Jean is now a university that is recognized by the Quebec government, serving its undergraduate students who are preparing for careers in the armed forces as well as its defence community with a traditional mandate of education and research. In addition, the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) officially recognized Royal Military College Saint-Jean as a research grant management institution on 25 October 2022. Professors became eligible for FRQ research grant programs, which could be managed internally.
To build on these major achievements and better support its research mandate, RMC Saint-Jean has decided to create the position of Associate Dean and a Research and Valorization Office for a specific period. Those have been deemed a necessity by researchers and join the Research Ethics Committee, the Research Advisor (ethics component), an established research group, ie, the Centre for Security and Crisis Governance (CRITIC), as well as internal grant programs and the Faculty Council’s Committee of Research and Graduate Studies (CRGS) in providing the organization with the tools that are essential to its mission of excellence and outreach.
Our researchers have won research grants from the country’s leading research organizations, joined the editorial boards of scientific journals, and offered their expertise both nationally and internationally and in the media. Major scientific conferences have been held or prepared during this period, such as the successful Leadersphere 2022, held under the theme “Analyze, decide, act: Responding to contemporary security challenges,” and the Canadian Undergraduate Security Conference; preparations for the Institut d’histoire de l’Amérique française’s conference, “Pouvoirs et mémoires dans les Amériques françaises,” have been well underway. CRITIC has organized ongoing activities of international repute, such as the lecture series, and has been overseeing a variety of research groups. All of those things are a testament to a strong scientific momentum. The compliance challenges that apply to all academic institutions in Quebec, and the regulations of the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces, should not be used as an excuse to curb the energy and momentum of researchers at RMC Saint-Jean.
I would like to call to mind a few principles that inspired and guided the actions of the Office of the Dean of Research during this period, as reported in the Research newsletter: “Building a research space at RMC Saint-Jean [...] means first and foremost that researchers can deploy all of their research activities from RMC Saint-Jean. Secondly, it means that, as a result of institutional autonomy and academic freedom, they have a guaranteed say in the allocation of resources, the defining of objectives and the pace and prioritization of research and teaching activities. And thirdly, it means that the activities of the Office of the Dean of Research and the Research and Valorization Office meet their needs.”
We would like to thank all the members of the teaching staff who accompanied the Office of the Dean of Research on this administrative “road trip” in various capacities, and who supported the research management mission in various ways: Alain, Anne, Bruno, Chantal, Élisabeth, Marc, Mulry, Simon and Théane. I join all of the researchers at RMC Saint-Jean in warmly thanking the employees, Maryse and Yuliya, who are fully dedicated to their success. A final word of thanks goes to Rosemarie, a guardian angel who has closely witnessed their highs and lows.

Office of the Dean of Reseach
Since RMC Saint-Jean’s return to university status (2021), the Office of the Dean of Research has seized the opportunity to develop structuring projects. The updating of the Research Integrity Policy (2022) and the adoption of the Policy on Academic Freedom (2023) made it possible to meet legal requirements for the responsible conduct of research. Steps taken with the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) also helped in obtaining managing institution status (2022).
As a member of the Bureau de coopération interuniversitaire (BCI), the Office of the Dean of Research has set up the Committee of Research and Graduate Studies (CRGS), with which it hopes to draw up a strategic research plan, following the Rapport sur le développement des activités de recherche et d’enseignement du Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean comme université militaire québécoise (Maltais, 2021) and the Independent External Comprehensive Review of the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces (Arbour Report, 2022). A consultation, orientation and action exercise (estates general), entitled “Gouvernance universitaire et stratégie de développement (GSD),” was also part of the structuring initiatives.
The Office of the Dean of Research has also been involved in the development of a second university program. It supports the activities of the Centre for Security and Crisis Governance (CRITIC) and continues to provide all the help needed for its development, notably with the consolidation of the Research and Valorization Office.
Research and Valorization Office
With the arrival of a person to lead the Research and Valorization Office, the team was able to move forward on several projects that are crucial to university-research development and support.
In line with the objectives set out in RMC Saint-Jean’s 2020–2025 Strategic Plan, the Research and Valorization Office pursued the goal of helping the school become a recognized military university. To achieve that, concrete actions initiated previously were taken a step further—for example, by completely revising the Research tab on the RMC Saint-Jean website to add more information and resources that are useful to the community.
The Research and Valorization Office has also taken a number of steps to offer a range of services tailored to the needs of researchers at the College, notably by supporting their applications to grant competitions and providing them with the necessary information, with the aim of increasing the number of research grants awarded.
The research conducted at RMC Saint-Jean has also received increased coverage on social networks, as has the promotion and facilitation of in-house research activities, including those of CRITIC. The publication of bilingual newsletters and the creation of a “Research” showcase designed to disseminate the publications of research professors have increased the coverage given to research findings of RMC Saint-Jean researchers. These actions are part of a strategic communications plan adopted by the Office of the Dean of Research to promote research both internally and externally.
Research Highlights
Research at RMC Saint-Jean
Digital governance in the COVID-19 era
In recent years, and particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, the spread of fake news and political polarization have shown us the downside of unbridled freedom of expression. The mobilization against the use of digital surveillance technologies during the pandemic response has also highlighted fears that the government is tightening its control over members of the public, and the issue gives rise to reflection on the governance framework. This research will provide an opportunity to examine displays of mistrust towards the government through discussions on the framework of the digital world, as understanding the obstacles will shed light on points of friction and establish a more fruitful dialogue between stakeholders from different backgrounds. [Simon Hogue, project entitled « La gouvernance du numérique est-elle possible ? Comprendre les manifestations de la méfiance envers l’État issue la culture numérique dans les discussions sur l’encadrement de l’univers numérique », CDARP and internal Start-up funding]
Blood restriction and performance
This research focuses on the effects of muscle blood flow restriction associated with low intensity physical activities. The goal of such a project is to propose solutions to reduce the number of overweight (or obese) and/or muscle-injured CAF members, which would reduce the number of non-deployable CAF members.[Gawiyou Danialou, CDARP]
Impact of the death of the nuclear arms treaty on transatlantic relations
For several months now, Russia has been front and centre in international political news because of its role in local conflicts, notably in Ukraine; however, that is not the only reason why the superpower is in the spotlight. The recurrent tensions surrounding the militarization of the region are also of great interest to experts. The looming end (partial or complete) of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, the landmark treaty signed by heads of state Reagan and Gorbachev, leaves many questions unanswered as to how relations between Russia and NATO will evolve. To better understand what the impact of dismantling this agreement will be, we need to document Russian points of view and identify the options open to Moscow as well as the reactions to talks between the actors involved and how those resonate with member states. The aim of this work is to shed light on the transformations taking place in the transatlantic security architecture. [Yann Breault, project entitled “La Russie face au renouveau du partenariat transatlantique,” CDARP]
Transformation of regional security governance in the Sahel and effects on Sahelian state formation and opportunities for conflict prevention and resolution
With these new theoretical models describing Sahelian governance, a UN peacekeeping mission in Mali and several other international actors are engaged in efforts focused on countering and preventing the spread of violent extremism. What forms of regional governance are these activities constructing? What are the competing visions of this regional security governance? These are the research questions that the project aims to answer. [Bruno Charbonneau, project entitled « Intervention and the Transformation of Sahelian States in the Context of Violent Extremism », SSHRC/CDARP]
A new area of civil–military cooperation
Do drones present a threat or an opportunity? Whether it is one or the other, the emerging era of drones—which has seen significant growth in recent years—raises a number of issues relating to their use, notably in terms of security, personal data protection and liability. This poses quite a challenge for governments, which are looking for ways to regulate and control this rapidly expanding sector. Chantal Lavallée’s DronesCivMil research project addresses these issues, focusing on the civil–military dimension of integrating drones into the Single European Sky. It analyzes the convergence of the European Commission’s civil drone initiatives as well as those of the European Defence Agency (EDA) and NATO on military drones. [Chantal Lavallée, project entitled “L’intégration des drones dans le Ciel unique européen : un nouvel espace de coopération civile-militaire (DronesCivMil),” Internal Start-up funding]
Governed by good intentions? Enhancing the rule of law in international humanitarian action
Humanitarian action is the work of saving lives, alleviating suffering and maintaining human dignity in the face of man-made crises, such as armed conflict, and natural and unnatural disasters, such as earthquakes and severe weather events. In practice, humanitarian action is delivered via assistance (material and medical relief) and protection, which refers to all activities aimed at ensuring respect for affected individuals’ rights. There are many challenges to humanitarian action, such as access and expanding demand alongside contracting budgets. A major challenge squarely within the purview of scholarship is that humanitarian action is governed by a body of law that has yet to be fully articulated. At least six regimes of public international law international human rights, refugee, disaster response and criminal law, as well as the law of armed conflict and the law of the sea speak directly or indirectly to humanitarian action, yet there is no complete analysis of international law as it relates to humanitarian action. This research will fill this gap by producing the first monograph to systematize and articulate the currently fragmented body of legal knowledge on humanitarian action. The monograph, titled Humanitarian Action in International Law, is under contract with Oxford University Press. [Marina Sharpe, project entitled ‘’Governed by good intentions? Enhancing the rule of law in international humanitarian action’’, SSHRC/CDARP]
The intellectual training of officers in contemporary Western military academies
Multidisciplinary in its approach, this research is articulated in the form of a fundamental reflection on the integration in officer training of intellectual skills such as cultural intelligence, critical thinking and general culture, in order to meet the new requirements arising from the changing operational and strategic environment in which Western armed forces are currently evolving. [Danic Parenteau, CDARP]
Development of theoretical models describing the conductance of molecular electronic devices
Thanks to these new theoretical models describing the conductance of molecular electronic devices, new functionalities are identified and can thus be integrated into nanoscopic electronic circuits. This work also allows for a deeper understanding of the behaviour of electrons during transport phenomena. [Alexandre Giguère, FREDS]
Explosives detection
The price of palladium, an essential element in gas catalysts, has soared in recent years. Behind these technological advances lie complex research projects leading to the use of these materials. The aim of Alexandre Giguere’s work is to study the molecular structure of nickel-, palladium- and ruthenium-based metal catalysts. In concrete terms, the development of this research will enable better explosives detection. [Alexandre Giguère, project entitled “Étude mécanistique de la polymérisation à l’aide de catalyseur au ruthenium,” FREDS]
Synthesis and characterization of conductive latexes for their application as stealth coatings
New latex paints based on conductive polymers could be applied to the surface of specific aircraft to make them stealthy, ie, invisible to radar waves. In the long term, it will be possible to find conductive polymers for latexes that will be able to absorb radar waves and dissipate them in the form of heat. As the waves cannot be re-emitted, the aircraft will become undetectable by the radar. These conductive latexes could have other applications, such as dissipating static electricity in sensitive areas such as explosives factories. [Laurence Piché, CDARP/Hydro-Québec]
The place of drones in the evolution of security
To what extent is the integration, or even proliferation, of drones in European and Norwegian civil airspace transforming the sociotechnical imagination, ie, the vision of technology development as a common good, the conceptualization of security in this three-dimensional space, and the existing regulations to ensure safety, security, and privacy standards. [Chantal Lavallée, RegulAIR Project – Research Council of Norway]
Political violence and complexity
In the context of the war on terror and cyber-attacks, influences on electoral processes and economic interference, global society is in a constant state of exception. Through the analysis of ruptures and the reorganization of the guiding principles articulating the conduct of political violence, the latter becomes a conceptual lens through which we capture systemic change and create a differentiated formulation of the international and the global. Integrated into this project is the establishment of a world observatory of grey zone conflicts. [André Simonyi, CDARP]
Quebec and conscription (1917–1918): An investigation into the ethnicization of a crisis
This research focuses on the historical and socio-cultural dimensions of the first conscription crisis in Quebec. The approach taken will be comparative in nature, situating the Quebec case in the context of resistance to compulsory conscription in the rest of Canada and elsewhere in the world, namely in the other dominions of the British Empire. This should lead to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of insurrectionary popular uprisings, as well as the various underlying resistance tactics that accompany them. [Béatrice Richard, research in progress]
The mathematical modeling of energy systems in a context of long-term reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
The mathematical, techno-economic and environmental modeling of energy systems proposes technological solutions at minimal cost in order to satisfy long-term constraints on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This research aims to develop the use of open-source tools that can promote this type of modeling, particularly in North America. [Denis Lavigne, CDARP]
Centre for Security and Crisis Governance (CRITIC)
In 2020, CRITIC was created based on the International Centre for the Study of the Profession of Arms. It brings together some twenty researchers from the College and other universities in seven research groups working on various topics: climate security, peace and stabilization operations, emerging technologies, war studies, diplomacy and international law, gender and international studies, and the history of war and strategy.
The objectives of CRITIC are as follows:
To promote the production and dissemination of cutting-edge research on a variety of issues related to global governance, national and international security, and crisis and risk management;
To contribute to the development of Canadian and international academic research, public policy debates, and the education and training of students at RMC Saint-Jean;
To support, stimulate and develop collaboration in research projects within and outside of RMC Saint-Jean;
To support, stimulate and develop a fundamental research capacity within RMC Saint-Jean that is rooted in academic freedom and responsibility;
To ensure a capacity for analysis and rapid reaction to intervene on strategic or current issues.
In 2022–2023, the end of COVID-19-related restrictions made it possible to relaunch several activities after the disruptions caused by the pandemic. In its three years of existence, CRITIC has become a key player in research and the advancement of knowledge at RMC Saint-Jean. It contributes to building a university culture that promotes excellence in research and teaching as part of the mission to train officer cadets.
CRITIC is destined to play a growing role in security and crisis-management issues. To that end, important links have been established and ambitious projects launched, notably with the NATO Climate Change and Security Centre of Excellence (Montreal), the Peace Research Institute Olso (PRIO) and the Institut de recherche stratégique de l’École militaire (IRSEM). These efforts will have a structuring effect on research at RMC Saint-Jean and on the forthcoming Geopolitics and Climate Science curriculum.
Among its activities, CRITIC offers a series of lectures by international experts on current issues. These lectures are open to the entire RMC Saint-Jean community.

Selected publications
Are religion and political modernity necessarily incompatible? Could they mutually reinforce one another and establish ad hoc alliances, or must they remain separate? Is the Western experience of religion destined to be exported and universalized, or does it remain a special case of the genius of a particular civilization? Can politics free itself from religion and create a common social ethic?
Under the editorship of Martin Poëti and André Simonyi, eight authors from five universities in Quebec and France have come together to shed new light on the always instructive encounter between spiritual traditions and political modernities. Each author, in their own way and according to their own convictions, attempts to answer various questions based on specific religions or particular national configurations (ie, China, the United States, France, Israel and the Roman Catholic Church). The work features introductory contributions by Martin Poëti, and André Simonyi writes the chapter “Modernité en émergence: un village en Transcarpathie, son politique et ses trois églises,” as well as the conclusion.

Can wickedness and cruelty be measured? How does literature absorb and reproduce the violence of society in its fiction? These are just some of the questions posed by Méchancetés: Ses expressions protéiformes dans la littérature du XVIIe siècle à aujourd’hui, published in 2021, which Anne Caumartin contributed to. In the chapter written by the professor, she examines violence, stances regarding the duality of good and evil, and the transposition of violent acts (their consequences and ends) in the creation of discourse.

The desire to explain the complexity of the international community’s interventions in peacebuilding motivated the writing of this book, which was published in 2022. The two researchers, Bruno Charbonneau and Maxime Ricard (and their collaborators) examine and analyze peacebuilding in the African context, looking at its various ideologies, institutions, practices and the actors involved. The book also contains an analysis of thematic issues such as gender, justice, development, democracy and the climate crisis, and concludes with in-depth analyses of case studies from across the continent. Marina Sharpe also looks at African issues in the chapter “Preventing Conflict-Induced Forced Displacement in Africa: UNHCR, the AU and the Rhetor Realities of ‘Root Causes.’“

The matter of education is always topical, and examining it from a historiographical perspective is all the more important, since it enables us to understand conceptions of education over time as well as the training of Quebec intellectuals who have left their mark on the province. The work in which Charles-Philippe Courtois has taken part aims to examine the educational mindset of important intellectual figures in Quebec from 1850 to 1900. What meaning did they ascribe to education? What place did education occupy in their economy of thought? On what ideas of knowledge and human beings was it based? What educational aims did they pursue? In particular, Charles-Philippe Courtois explores the thinking of Lionel Groulx, a historian and professor who has been described as the “spiritual father of modern Quebec.”

The issues surrounding Islam are not always easy to grasp, but they do require attention. To understand them more clearly, we must first examine the complex interweaving of the political and the religious in contemporary Islam. This collective work takes a cross-sectional look at the role of Islam in the construction of its political identity and its representation in the collective imagination. It also looks at the key issues that have arisen in recent decades: radicalization, Islamophobia and the status of women. Marc Imbeault’s original contribution on this subject concerns the phenomenon of Islamic radicalization, and the links between narrative identity and jihadist terrorist violence.

Covering all the legal aspects of refugee rights in a single compendium is no mean feat, but this book has easily risen to the challenge. In ten chapters, it examines regional specificities in detail, analyzing legal instruments for the protection of refugees and taking a critical look at the current global situation, thereby proposing research themes for the years to come. Marina Sharpe contributes as an expert on the African region. She analyzes the regional legal framework for refugee protection in Africa.

Co-edited by Mulry Mondélice, the collective work L’Union européenne, puissance globale dans les relations internationales et transatlantiques addresses its themes through an in-depth, qualitative reflection on the European Union’s ability to influence responses to current international challenges and, more generally, to assert itself in international and transatlantic relations. This multi-disciplinary work, with some forty contributions, attempts to answer the following question: is the European Union a global power? Mulry Mondélice is the author of the chapter “L’appréhension européenne et nord-américaine de l’aide au développement et humanitaire: différents régimes, mêmes enjeux.” Yann Breault looks at Eurasia in the chapter “La Russie face au renouveau du pacte transatlantique.”

This book, co-edited by Anne Caumartin, is original in the way it attempts to put into perspective some of the myths, emblems and truisms of the Quebec collective imagination, while drawing on the experiences, reflections and personal memories of the authors. Neither a reminder of a glorious French past, nor a reification of Americanization, nor a celebration of historiography or scholarly literature, nor an apology for a “true” popular culture, the subjects that make up the book have been chosen first and foremost for their interpretative significance. Far from claiming to be encyclopedic or representative, what they have in common is that they offer different strata of representation. Whether laying to rest the most persistent myths or reviving certain pervasive spectres to better take them to task, the 26 contributors have all played the game of rereading and updating, combining, in varying proportions, a scholarly approach and essayistic writing.

The second panel, “Decide,” was a forum for women leaders to reflect on the place of gender in security decision-making. Finally, the last panel, “Act,” was made up of practitioners who had reflected on these issues from an operational perspective.
CANADIAN UNDERGRADUATE SECURITY CONFERENCE
The Canadian Undergraduate Security Conference (CUSC) was held at RMC Saint-Jean on 11 February 2023 thanks to the efforts of Bruno Charbonneau and Yann Breault. The result of collaboration between the Royal Military College of Canada, Bishop’s University and Royal Military College Saint-Jean, the conference, funded by the Canadian Defence Academy, enables undergraduate students from these institutions to present their research work.
It followed on from the Quebec Undergraduate Security Conference (QUSC) held on 9 April 2022 at Bishop’s University.
COLLOQUIUM “READY, ENGAGED AND INFORMED: CANADA AND THE ROLE OF INTELLIGENCE IN ADDRESSING EMERGING THREATS AND CHALLENGES”
Funded by the MINDS program of Canada’s Department of National Defence, in partnership with the Centre for Security and Crisis Governance (CRITIC) of Royal Military College Saint-Jean and the Centre FrancoPaix, the colloquium “Ready, engaged and informed: Canada and the role of intelligence in addressing emerging threats and challenges” took place on 8 April 2022, with the cooperation of Bruno Charbonneau, at Bishop’s University as part of the conferences of the Network for Strategic Analysis (NSA) and the Raoul-Dandurand Chair in Strategic and Diplomatic Studies.
SYMPOSIUM “L’EXTRÉMISME ET LES FORCES ARMÉES”
In partnership with RMC Saint-Jean, the Centre of Expertise and Training on Religious Fundamentalism (CEFIR) and the UNESCO Chair in the Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Extremism, the symposium “L’extrémisme et les forces armées” was held on 20 April 2022 at Cégep Édouard-Montpetit as a result of the efforts of Marc Imbeault.
SYMPOSIUM “LES PROTESTANTS ET LA GUERRE: DES RÉFORMATEURS À AUJOURD’HUI”
Marc Imbeault was a member of the organizing committee for the symposium “Les protestants et la guerre: des réformateurs à aujourd’hui” (2022), involving RMC Saint-Jean, the Institut d’étude et de recherche théologique en interculturalité, migration et mission and the Chaire de leadership en enseignement - Marie-Fitzbach en pastorale et éthique sociales.
Professional Military Education Department
The teachers of the Professional Military Education Department (PMED) have participated in the professional development of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) non-commissioned members (NCMs) since 2003. As of 2015, they teach at the Chief Warrant Officer Robert Osside Profession of Arms Institute (Robert Osside Institute) of Royal Military College Saint-Jean. Four development programs are offered by the Robert Osside Institute: the Intermediate Leadership Program (ILP), leading to a promotion to the rank of warrant officer/petty officer first class; the Advanced Leadership Program (ALP), leading to a promotion to the rank of master warrant officer/chief petty officer second class; the Senior Leadership Program (SLP), leading to a promotion to the rank of chief warrant officer/chief petty officer first class; and the Senior Appointment Program (SAP), allowing chief warrant officers/chief petty officers first class to be designated to a senior appointment position. The PMED members teach all of the distance learning curriculum and actively participate within the residential courses, in close collaboration with its military directing instructor staff.
The research interests of the members of the department, originally composed exclusively of historians and political scientists, initially focused on the military history of Canada. This research was aimed, and still is aimed, mainly at enriching the course material of the Robert Osside Institute program as well as at publishing scientific articles.
Over the years, the content of the program of the Robert Osside Institute has evolved and consequently so has the expertise of its teachers. By developing course material and getting to know their particular clientele, PMED staff have developed a unique expertise in their main field of activity, namely the profession of arms and more specifically the professional development of NCMs. Over the years, they have become authorities on these matters for the CAF, which does not hesitate to consult them when necessary. Consequently, they are engaged in various reflection exercises on the revision of the orientation of professional development for all NCMs as well as on the future of the profession of arms in Canada.
In addition, the specific needs of the Robert Osside Institute’s constantly evolving program have also allowed teachers to deepen their knowledge and conduct research in other fields such as military sociology, ethics, psychometrics, character leadership as well as andragogy, and they have also seen their expertise recognized by the CAF. In addition, PMED now includes teachers who are specialized (including some carrying out doctoral studies) in fields other than history and political science, including psychology, communications, sociology, philosophy and ludology.
In addition to their primary responsibility in the education of NCMs, the PMED teachers are also fully engaged in Royal Military College Saint-Jean’s mission of promoting its national and international influence while supporting other departments of the Academic wing in their tasks with officer cadets.

Humanities and Social Sciences Department
The Humanities and Social Sciences Department provides training on two levels. On the one hand, it provides officer cadets with the range of humanities and literature courses essential to their training, not only in terms of obtaining a college diploma or the necessary prerequisites for university studies at Royal Military College Saint-Jean or the Royal Military College of Canada, but also with a view to making them future officers with an excellent general knowledge. Emphasis is also placed on the mastery of oral and written expression. On the other hand, the certificate and bachelor programs in International Studies focus on the study of dynamic relationships involving states, international organizations and non-state actors on the world stage. They provide students with a general education that enables them to develop critical thinking skills in the analysis of major contemporary challenges and issues in a number of fields. In particular, the bachelor’s program draws on a variety of disciplines including political science, law, history, geography, literature, psychology, communication, foreign languages and other areas of cultural studies. In addition to teaching, the department’s professors develop teaching materials and organize various activities of a cultural or scientific nature.
The research carried out by the department’s professors remains particularly exciting. The professors contribute to the College’s reputation by playing an active role in university research in the following areas:
History:
Canadian military history and Quebec history; the Conquest; Quebec intellectuals of the 20th century; the culture of the Patriotes; national history; teaching of history; commemoration policies; and political and cultural studies of war.
Semiotics:
literary semiotics; music semiotics; film semiotics; and the study of cult-status artworks and popular culture.
Psychology:
neuropsychology; music cognition; and neurogenetic disorders of music perception.
Philosophy:
nationalism and cosmopolitanism in the context of globalization (political ideologies in the contemporary context); ethics and the fight against extremism in the Canadian Armed Forces; and culture and critical thinking in the training of officer cadets.
Political science:
the making of contemporary ideology.
Literature:
the culture of war in the twentieth century; the representation of war in literature; women’s literature (Simone de Beauvoir, Nancy Huston and Annie Ernaux); the sense of responsibility in contemporary literature in Quebec and France; places of remembrance in Quebec; essays on popular culture; and literary stylistics.
International studies:
The research carried out by professors teaching in the Bachelor of International Studies program is generally interdisciplinary and aimed at better understanding and explaining the dynamic relationships involving states, international organizations and non-state actors on the world stage. Consequently, the department’s professors produce and disseminate knowledge on numerous contemporary challenges and issues in the fields of peace and security, development and human rights in international relations and global governance. More specifically, this research provides a clearer picture of the theoretical and/or practical, structural and circumstantial issues surrounding the following topics in particular:
the war in Ukraine; conflicts in grey areas; crisis management; religion and modernity; U.S. and Canadian foreign policy; Russia and Eurasia; drones in the European Union’s external action; the geopolitics of borders; international migration; international protection of human rights and the rule of law; international humanitarian law; European and North American approaches to humanitarian and development aid; interactions between international law and diplomacy in the quest for international peace and security, notably in the context of peace operations in the Caribbean and Africa; security sector reform; climate change; emerging conflicts; climate security; complex systems and international society; the making of contemporary ideology; new information and communication technologies and democracy; and sovereignty and independence.
This research, published in the form of books and articles from prestigious publishing houses and scientific journals, and presented at congresses, symposia and conferences in Canada and abroad, contributes to the reputation of our professors and our institution, while some of our professors’ projects are funded by granting agencies. Some of our experts are also consulted or invited to comment on international news in the media, thus contributing to the definition of public policy and public information.
The Centre for Security and Crisis Governance (CRITIC) is an important part of all of this. CRITIC organizes conferences, either on its own or in collaboration with the department or professors within it, contributing to the link between teaching and research.
Professors in the Humanities and Social Sciences Department have also organized a number of activities hosted at RMC Saint-Jean, including a symposium on extremism in the armed forces, and the second Canadian Undergraduate Security Conference.

Language Department
RMC’s Language Department offers courses in English as a second language, French as a second language and Spanish as a foreign language.
Course levels range from beginner to advanced, with a maximum group size of 10 people. In addition to complying with provincial language acquisition standards, courses incorporate military vocabulary and emphasize communication and cooperation to enhance the learning experience.
ENGLISH
Indigenous Studies Course: Online course offered by Coursera in collaboration with the University of Alberta.
Canadian perspectives: Oral presentation followed by a discussion on national realities.
Theatre project: An experiential learning project for advanced students focusing on the association of language with movement, voice and action. The project involved analyzing, rehearsing and performing scenes from a play.
Poetry in Voice: Participation of a group of students in the “Poetry in Voice” project offered by the non-profit organization of the same name.
Reading to children: Reading sessions and discussions on the themes of inclusion and diversity led by two groups of students for all children at the Saint-John’s elementary school in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
Teachers strive to bring their students into contact with real-world situations that explore relevant issues through rewarding projects and collaborations.
Here are some of the projects and topics we have explored with our students over the past two years:
FRENCH
Tutoring project: Peer-to-peer tutoring for beginners, prepared and led by advanced students.
Journées de la culture: Activities organized by advanced students as part of the Journées de la culture. Activities include a Quebec apple and cheese tasting, an artists’ corner and an expression workshop.
Virtual tour of the campus: Preparation of video vignettes presenting the daily life of officer cadets; creation of an itinerary on an interactive online map.
Survival workshops: Preparation and presentation of practical workshops on survival in mountainous, arctic, desert and tropical regions.

Science Department
The department’s vibrancy and renown are upheld by its active contribution to top-level scientific and academic circles. At the heart of its research ambitions, modeling represents a strategic pillar, encompassing a range of advanced technical expertise. This includes specializations in fields such as energy systems modeling, nanoelectronics, quantum computation and biophysics. At the same time, the department also contributes to physiology research projects, notably those focused on accelerating muscle regeneration and gene therapy strategies.
The pedagogical excellence of the teaching staff is evident in the quality of their teaching and the organization of a variety of events that enrich the scientific culture of officer cadets. These include lectures organized by the math and science club, science days and projects that integrate and consolidate students’ acquired knowledge and broaden their scientific horizons within a rigorous and exhaustive academic curriculum. The department is also developing a new university program combining climate science with security and geopolitics. This ambitious project aims to tie in with the efforts of the federal government and NATO to make the region a centre of excellence in climate security.
