Research Interests for Chris Webb

My research investigates the reintegration of veterans into civilian society in the United States. As an ethnographer, I explore how systems of meaning that are created in the traumatic environment of war are experienced through fieldwork with repatriated combat veterans. Through this research, I wish to cultivate greater understandings of the effect of militarism/militarization on society and violence/trauma on human beings, including those who perform it.
