VETERANS STUDIES
Veterans Studies is a growing field of research that addresses the significant impact of military personnel transitioning from active duty to civilian life. This special panel session invites papers that explore any aspect of military service in literature, including those that reflect the conference theme of “Geographies of the Fantastic and Quotidian.” Outside the trauma of military existence is the rich sense of community that exists in the brotherhood of service to one’s country.

This session invites papers that explore the many facets of military experience exhibited in literature, theater, film, and poetry written about or by military veterans. Veterans are strongly urged to participate. Proposals are due by July 10, 2022.

Veterans Studies
