This Military Welfare History Network provides a networking and dissemination platform for scholars who are research active in military welfare history. Something that has heretofore been lacking, despite the existence of several societies and network that focus on the research of war or more specifically veterans and their families.
Research can relate to any chronological period, ranging from antiquity to the contemporary, and can be conducted by scholars from the arts, humanities and social science research, globally. This comprises work on state and non-state welfare provisions, perceptions, organisations and policies relating to service personnel, both serving and discharged, and their families and other dependants, and even representations of military welfare. This network seeks to bring together scholars in this unique yet diverse area of research, which spans the:
- social history of the military
- military history
- critical military studies
- military sociology
- welfare history
- gender history
- arts and cultures studies
- the study of civil-military relations
and beyond, to promote their research, to expand their networks and to develop new and exciting collaborations.
