PhD Graduate Thomas Howard Suitt, III Publishes First Book
Congratulations to PhD Graduate, Thomas Howard Suitt, III, who recently published his first book, Narratives of Trauma and Moral Agency among Christian Post-9/11 Veterans with Palgrave MacMillan. More information about the book can be found below.
Narratives of Trauma and Moral Agency among Christian Post-9/11 Veterans explores the profound impact of military service on the moral and religious identities of post-9/11 veterans. Using in-depth interviews, Suitt uncovers the realities of military experience and how religion brought to and found in that experience shapes the lives of US veterans. Delving into the realm of moral injury and trauma, Suitt explores the role of military chaplains, ethics education, just war theory rhetoric, and formal religious practice in reshaping the moral compass of service members. Through illuminating narratives of these veterans’s lives, Suitt uncovers how veterans navigate their identities, using their Christian faith and other belief systems to make sense of war and their roles as active service members and veterans. This compelling research expands our understanding of the profound effects of military service and the lived religious experience, offering valuable insights into the lives of those who have served in our post-9-11 conflicts.
