This community-based learning (CBL) course connects Drexel students with local veterans to create texts for the Library of Congress Veterans History Project. By publishing experiences that are not often heard, students will broaden social understanding of the relationship of gender, race, and socioeconomics to war and peace. Students will explore writing as a healing modality, read selected texts, and learn interview techniques while meeting with local veterans. As students learn the veterans’ stories, they will work with the vets to craft narratives that fit Library of Congress guidelines. Male and female veterans will be included and will represent a wide range of military experiences. Students will practice writing, analysis and editing, and create a Library of Congress product to list on their resumes.
