The proximity of the front and the colossal numbers of wounded created greater public awareness of the impact of the war than had been seen in previous conflicts, with serious political consequences.

Her monograph, <em>Reconstructing the Body: Classicism, Modernism and the First World War<\/em> (Oxford University Press, 2009), examines the impact of war on culture and society, and the powerful political and personal forces that motivated reconstruction between 1918 and 1933 in Britain, the United States, Australia, and Europe. Carden-Coyne has edited a volume on <em>Gender and Conflict Since 1914: Historical and Interdisciplinary Perspectives<\/em> (Palgrave, 2012), which brings scholars from the humanities and social sciences together to consider the impact of war on gender roles in the past and present. She has acted as acted as consultant for the Wellcome Trust&#8217;s War and Medicine exhibition and made other contributions to international events such as the Sydney Festival and the Sydney Mardi Gras, and has published a commemorative booklet with the Guardian newspaper on \u201cWounded Visionaries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Student Discussions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"lcp_catlist\" id=\"lcp_instance_0\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/humanslashnature\/2015\/10\/27\/ethics-and-history-of-medical-practices-and-wound-healing-in-wwi\/\">Ethics and History of Medical Practices and Wound Healing in WWI<\/a>  October 27, 2015<lcp_author>Kay Shigemori<\/lcp_author><div class=\"lcp_excerpt\">As a biology major and as someone who is automatically wired to think about the mechanical\/technical (thinking about the biological mechanisms) aspects of healthcare and medical practice when the topic ...<\/div><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/humanslashnature\/2015\/10\/26\/culture-of-wounds\/\">Culture of wounds<\/a>  October 26, 2015<lcp_author>Jay Moore<\/lcp_author><div class=\"lcp_excerpt\">The technology used in the Great War used to kill enemy troops greatly developed between previous wars.
