Hello and welcome to our website!
We are a group of early career academics focused on developing and sharing novel theoretical, empirical, and methodological insights pertaining to non-serving military spouses.
Broadly, our research interests include the critical analysis of:
Military spouses' lived experiences of, for example, deployments, communities, welfare provision, and divorce.
The ways military spouses are represented and understood across different social, cultural, and political contexts.
How military spouses' practical and emotional labour relates to military objectives.
The relationship between military spouses, the military, and the wider state.
We are interested in exploring questions including:
What is means to be critical and related implications.
Our encounters with the military community.
Rethinking homogenous framings of military spouses.
Creative opportunities to create impact and related implications.
