2016 NEH Summer Institute for College and University Teachers

Veterans in Society:

Ambiguities & Representations

10-29 July 2016

 

Blacksburg, VA,   and   Washington, DC

Preliminary bibliography

 

We ask all participants to acquire and review the preliminary readings listed on the syllabus and to view the audio-visual materials before the first session of the 2016 institute.   This bibliography will remain open after the institute so we can add resources recommended by our participants.

 

Once the institute begins, we will also distribute a reading packet in print and electronic form that includes materials to be read/viewed/listened to during the following three weeks. We have also put together an extended list that represents selected material our faculty know well and may integrate into sessions for discussion.

 

If you are undecided about applying to this institute, the readings on the points of departure page give a taste of the genres and topics we will address.  

 

The literature pertaining to veterans in society is rich historically and constantly growing around the world.  We invite participants to contribute specialized bibliographies and instructional materials as resources for classroom or research use by the veterans studies community.

​

Entries here provide DOIs and other persistent addresses to articles and ebooks when we have been able to determine them; your ability to access proprietary resources from your home institution depends on your library's licenses.  See the syllabus for links specifically to Virginia Tech's licensed online articles and ebooks or to the Virginia Tech library catalog records for print books and DVDs.

Toward a bibliography of veterans studies

The following works do not compose a rigorously selected list but rather our starting point for building a systematic bibliography from sources identified by the institute co-directors and faculty.  Over the course of the institute - and we hope afterward - participants will identify additional works, suggest better categorization and classification, and consider how they could be used to further research, teaching, and outreach in the emerging academic field of veterans studies.
