Beskrivning

With contributors in the fields of communication, psychology, English, law, and others, Navigating Life with a Graduate Degree as a Military Spouse: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Challenges, Lessons Learned, and Thriving amidst Uncertainty utilizes interdisciplinary theories, methods, and approaches to study the educational and career experiences of military spouses with advanced degrees. The contributors to this volume analyze the challenges, struggles, and positive aspects of being a military spouse with an advanced degree in both academic and professional contexts. The chapters cover chronological approaches to academic and military identities; academic, professional, and military challenges; and strategies for enhancing academic, military, and professional life. This book expands and focuses on the unique challenges military spouses encounter while in graduate school and while transitioning out of graduate programs into academic and professional contexts, and provides a new resource for military and academic researchers, scholars, and practitioners.

Recensioner i media

The book should be a must-read for colleges and universities that deal with military families. It should also be required reading for those in command positions at our nation's bases and forts, so that they have a better and clearer understanding of the true impact on families from deployments and moves. . . . The editors take a resource book with data and information and make it very readable and understandable by adding so many different voices and viewpoints presented. . . . Every military spouse should have access to this book and read it. I believe this book has a mission and purpose. I salute the editors for putting this all together in this volume.
