This session invites papers that explore the many facets of military life exhibited in literature, theater, film, and poetry written by or about military veterans as well as scholarly explorations of the veteran experience.

The Role of the University in War - An Interdisciplinary Conference (Hull, UK and online) - 5-6 November 2025

This interdisciplinary (hybrid) conference considers the role of universities in war past and present. Historically, the university experience in war is of loss, displacement, depleting student numbers, reallocation of staff to expert roles to support the war effort, students and staff engaged in active duty, and campus buildings re-purposed. Universities also become key for a country’s postwar reconstruction. However, not all universities have direct experience of conflict. This conference considers how universities operate in war zones and the role universities play in non-conflict zones to support the academy and the communities they serve in war and displacement.

Over the past decade, as the opioid epidemic turned into an even deadlier fentanyl epidemic, many colleges developed and implemented collegiate recovery programs “designed to provide an educational opportunity alongside other recovery supports to ensure that students do not have to sacrifice one for the other” (ARHE, 2024). As Nichols et al. (2025) relate, “Descriptive and observational research suggests that CRPs tend to reach the most at-risk students.”
