Belonging After Service
For spouses, partners and families, not only the person who served. Around a third of AURIS's own research interviews are family members, and until now nothing in the Academy has spoken to them directly.
This page shows what the AURIS research records actually hold behind this course: the coded themes it draws on, the research projects it belongs to and the publications that carry the argument. Nothing is listed here that is not already recorded elsewhere.
Interviews
The programme records 38 coded interviews of a planned 108. The live interview log is still being filled, so this page reports the written programme figure rather than a log count.

No coded theme in the interview log names the same ground as this course yet. Coding is under way, and themes will appear here once they are recorded. We do not list themes we cannot show the work behind.
