Dialogues on the Experience of War: A Community Discussion Series

Dialogues on the Experience of War: A Community Discussion Series is a program funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. It brings together veterans, active service members, their families, and civilians to discuss American history through the lens of justice and war. Community discussions, led by veterans and IUPUI faculty, put participants’ own experiences in dialogue with the past through prompts that flesh out the concept of justice through themes such as duty, heroism, suffering, loyalty, and patriotism.

The series will be offered twice in March and April 2023 and will focus on the comparative histories of the Spanish-American War and the Vietnam War. All events are free, and participants are welcome to attend one or all of the discussions.
