Name: Will

Social Justice Group: Veterans/Life After War

Date of Fieldwork: February 23, 2018

Name of Organization: Morgan Stanley

Person (people) with whom I met and their job titles: Patrick Savage

Type of Fieldwork: Interview

What I did:

We visited Patrick savage at his place of work where we interviewed him with questions that we had come up with. Patrick seemed very interested and enthusiastic that young kids were doing things like social justice.

What I learned:

We learned a ton about education in regards to our topic. He told us that there are a lot of steps involved in getting a good education as a veteran. You have to have a good record in the military. You cant be injured mentally or physically. If you are injured mentally you will get help. This is not true for all veterans though and this is one of the issues we discussed with him.

What I learned about Social Justice “work” and/or Civil and Human rights “work” from this fieldwork:

Through this fieldwork, I learned what more about what huge issues veterans are facing and how we are doing a lot to help just by doing these interviews. Patrick Savage said that he would tell his veterans friends about us and might be able to get in touch with his friend for another fieldwork.
