Greetings Timothy Mallard arriving on scene
Rev'd Colonel Timothy Mallard, PhD, MSS, a renowned expert in the field of moral injury and its impact on warfare, has begun a one-year visit at Durham University as a Visiting Research Fellow at St Chad's College.
During his stay, Mallard continues his Honorary Fellowship with the Department of Theology and Religion, where he will focus on his upcoming book, "Moral Injury and Future War: Ukraine, Israel-Palestine, and Beyond."
Mallard's extensive military background, spanning 37 years as a United States Army Chaplain, includes critical strategic postings at US Army Europe-Africa and the Pentagon, as well as combat and operational deployments to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Brian Powers, Executive Director of the Inter-Disciplinary Centre for Military and Security Ethics (ICMI) at Durham University, is excited about Mallard's arrival, expressing his eagerness to see and share the fruits of Mallard's research.
While specific detailed search results about Mallard’s research on moral injury and future war scenarios, particularly focusing on Ukraine and Israel-Palestine, are scarce, related relevant information can be synthesized. Mallard has publicly discussed moral and spiritual injury in war, indicating his active engagement with the topic of moral injury in conflict contexts. His research is situated within a recognized academic discourse on the ethics and lasting psychological and moral effects of war.
The broader scholarly field on moral injury connects to just war theory and ethical reflections on warfare, as exemplified by researchers like Marc LiVecche, who has written extensively on just war and moral injury. While LiVecche is not Mallard, this situates Mallard’s research within a recognized academic discourse on the ethics and lasting psychological and moral effects of war.
Mallard plans to support the ICMI team in person during the coming year, contributing to the ongoing discussions and research on military and security ethics.
As Mallard delves deeper into his research at Durham University, those interested in his specific work on moral injury and future war scenarios are encouraged to seek out academic publications, institutional web pages, or recent conference talks for more comprehensive information beyond what is currently indexed.
