For the first of anything it’s always good to start with a primer and that’s why my first guest is Jim Craig to talk about the field of Veterans Studies from his position as the current president of the Veterans Studies Association. We talk about the start of the field from EKU along with the various contributions from different fields that truly make it an interdisciplinary study. This episode branches into so many aspects of the study that you’ll have to listen to find out!
