Ongoing Research Projects

The Military Welfare History Network

Founded in 2019 and based at the UCD Centre for War Studies, the Military Welfare History Network has brought together hundreds of researchers and scholars from around the world whose scholarship engages with the 'academic perspective' of military welfare history. Together they provide fact-based, critical historical analysis of military welfare, benefits and provisions for those in uniform and their families to both evaluate the past and to influence contemporary military and civilian systems of welfare and care and social policies.

The Network was founded and it still co-ordinated by Dr Paul Huddie and its UCD members include (amongst others):

Sofya Anisimova

Jack Kavanagh

Julie M. Powell
