Military, War, and Society in the (mostly) 20th century United States

Beth Bailey, University of Kansas

In this colloquium, we’ll explore the growing field of “new” military history—which, in fact, has its origins before (most of?) you were born. We’ll discuss the origins and development of the field, as well as its relations to the broader field of military history and to broader trends in historical questions and methods from the 1980s to the present.
