You are invited to join us for a workshop to explore what it means to be a veteran-researcher and reflect on what it is like to traverse the military-academic divide. This gathering will offer an informal opportunity to get to know each other and each other’s research as well as to generate initial ideas to support a special issue in the Critical Military Studies journal.

Who is the workshop for?

Ex-military, serving and reservist early career researchers who are working on defence/military topics.

What do I need to know?

The event is being funded by Volkswagen Foundation as part of the Military Afterlives project (http://socialsciences.exeter.ac.uk/politics/research/projects/militaryafterlives/)

The event is being organised by the Defence Research Network (https://defenceresearchnetwork.wordpress.com)

Attendance is free and travel costs will be reimbursed (delegates will be requested to advise us of anticipated travel costs by email in advance)
