Eileen E. Schell -- Addressing Moral Injury Through Writing

Eileen Schell is Professor of Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University. She directs the Composition and Cultural Rhetoric Doctoral Program at SU and is the author, co-author, and editor of seven books. She, along with her colleague Ivy Kleinbart, started an intergenerational community writing group for veterans in 2010 in honor of her late uncle Brady Lane Smith, who served in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot for 27 months. The group offers public readings and open dialogues on war and the military experience. Schell is also the co-facilitator of the Moral Injury Project at SU-- a project that addresses moral injury among veterans and military family members. Schell also has run a community writing group for seniors at the Nottingham Senior Living Community since 2000.
