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.

This website provides details about:

• Our group members including their research interests and projects.

• Information about upcoming events including webinars and discussions.

• Relevant news and publications relating to military spouses.
