This poster presents the overall approach of the project and was presented at the NSF AISL PI meeting in February 2019 by the PI.
This pilot research seeks to understand how informal learning experiences called mapathons are viable pathways for veterans to transition to the civilian workforce. The conceptual approach pays attention to the realities of the life course of military and veteran families, especially building upon theories of change related to transitions that include a spatial component.
