Abstract

This chapter explores military heritage sites as pedagogical opportunities for critiquing the intersection of gender, war, and militarism. It takes an international perspective, exploring military heritage sites in Canada, England, and Europe, which are categorised as cemeteries, checkpoints, forts, secret intelligence sites, and walls. This chapter discusses history, heritage, and heritage sites; reviews the literature with respect to heritage sites, learning, gender, and the military; details the methodology of the feminist anti-militarist learning hack; discusses the findings of politicised location, implied history, and leveraged tourism; and, concludes with recommendations for adult educators.
