The Falklands War and its aftermath
Dr Helen Parr, RC4SPIRE, has been awarded BA/Leverhulme small grant for her project on 'The Falklands War 1982 and its aftermath'.
The award, of £9,604, expands on an initial project to examine the experiences and impacts of the Falklands war from the perspectives of combatants, and also of their families.
This research will contribute to a wider project to re-evaluate of the ways in which the Falklands war has been written about in British political history.
The grant will fund Helen and research assistant, Emma Murray, currently a PhD student in SPIRE and Criminology, whose work is with veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, to conduct interviews with Falklands veterans and family members and also to undertake some archival work as the archives open after 30 years.
