Coming Home as "Wounded Warriors": Identity, Stigma, and Status among Post-9/11 Wounded Veterans My dissertation examines the symbolic meaning of “wounded warrior” and how this construct creates social expectations that impact the community and everyday lives of wounded post-9/11 veterans. Using in-depth interviews with 39 post-9/11 wounded/injured/ill veterans in combination with a content analysis of the mainstream media coverage of wounded veterans, this research analyzes how the “wounded warrior” context shapes the social relationships, identity, and structural resources for the post-9/11 generation of wounded veterans. 10-page dissertation extended abstract (PDF) Full Dissertation (UMD DRUM) This work was supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Dissertation Improvement Grant: P#1518894 |
