As the Canada Research Chair in Gender, Security, and the Armed Forces, Dr. von Hlatky is widely regarded for her influential research on gender dynamics within military organizations and international security institutions.
Her work has had real-world impact, informing policy at both national and international levels. She provided expert testimony during the Arbour Review into sexual misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces and has contributed to reform efforts within NATO. Through her research and advocacy, Dr. von Hlatky is helping shape more inclusive and equitable defense policies in Canada and beyond, reinforcing Queen’s University’s leadership in socially engaged scholarship.
