Afterwar: Unmasking the Trauma of War with Nancy Sherman 

The Experience of War: Moral Transformation, Injury and Repair Public Event


   Shay, Wood, Sleigh 

 

Tuesday, March 28, 2017
6:30 p.m.
Roosevelt House 

 

Drawing on her recent book, Afterwar, Nancy Sherman explores moral injury and PTSD through the lens of moral philosophy and soldiers’ stories, both ancient and from the current wars. She explains how the notion of moral injury resonates with many service members and veterans. The term feels safe and non-stigmatizing, and invites reflection about the moral anguish that can come with donning the uniform and taking it off.
