In 2018-2019, participants will consider questions surrounding the aftermaths of war, including topics such as representations of veterans, the lived experiences of refugees, reenactments, memorials, memoirs, and fiction. Throughout the year, we will consider interdisciplinary theories of war and explore the relationship between human nature and military conflict; we will also examine the enduring impacts of war. The seminar will be supplemented by discussions with Performance Studies scholar Dr. Rebecca Schneider (Brown University) and American Studies scholar Dr. John Kinder (Oklahoma State University).
