Jeffrey Reznick is currently director of the Institute for the Study of Occupation and Health of the American Occupational Therapy Foundation (AOTF), Bethesda, Maryland. He joined the AOTF following his tenure as senior curator of the National Museum of Health and Medicine of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Washington, DC. Previously, from 2001 to 2005, Jeffrey served as Executive Director and Senior Research Fellow of the Orthotic and Prosthetic Assistance Fund, Washington, DC, and, from 1999 to 2001, as Assistant Director of the Institute for Comparative and International Studies of Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. Jeffrey is author of Healing the nation: Soldiers and the culture of caregiving in Britain during the First World War (2004), the first book to appear in the Cultural history of modern war series of Manchester University Press. His next book, forthcoming in 2009, will also appear in this series. Entitled So comes the sacred work: John Galsworthy and the Great War, it is a critical study of this Nobel laureate’s support of disabled soldiers and wartime rehabilitation programs. The project extends Jeffrey’s ongoing study of the ‘materiality’ of Great War medical and voluntary-aid programs, of individual and collective memory of the period 1914-1918 and of the significance of this memory to historical research and to wider dialogue about the immediate and future care of soldiers disabled in war. Jeffrey is also author of several essays in edited collections, including: · ‘Historical perspectives on the care of military service members with limb amputations’ (with Jeffrey Gamble and Alan Hawk) in Textbook of Military Medicine: Rehabilitation Medicine ed. Paul Pasquina (Borden Institute of the United States Army Medical Department Center & School, forthcoming); · ‘Garden landscapes of the Great War’ in Conflict landscapes: Materiality and meaning in contested places eds. Nicholas Saunders and Paul Cornish (Routledge, Material Culture, conflic, and modernity series, forthcoming); · ‘The Great War and the inter-allied conferences on the after-care of disabled men’ in Bodies in conflict: Corporeality, materiality, and transformation in twentieth century war eds. Nicholas Saunders and Paul Cornish (Routledge, Material Culture, conflict and modernity series, forthcoming); · ‘Metropolitan hospitals’ (with Sophie Delaporte, Paul Lerner, Peter Leese and Jay Winter) in Capital cities at war: Paris, London, Berlin 1914-1919, volume 2 eds. Jean-Louis Robert and Jay Winter (Cambridge University Press, 2007); · ‘Prosthetics and propaganda in the Great War’ in Matter of conflict: Material culture, memory and the First World War ed. Nicholas Saunders (London: Routledge, 2004) and · ‘Work-therapy and the disabled British soldier in Britain in the First World War: The case of Shepherd’s Bush Military Hospital, London’ in Disabled veterans in history ed. David A. Gerber (University of Michigan Press, 2000). Additionally, Jeffrey has authored numerous book reviews, articles for the popular press and entries in reference works such as the Material culture in America: Understanding everyday life (New York: ABC-CLIO, 2007); Encyclopedia of Europe 1914-2004, Scribner world history European series (New York, NY: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 2006) and Encyclopedia of disability (Sage Publications, 2005). During the past decade, Jeffrey has lectured nationally and internationally on a variety of subjects related to the Great War and to his affiliated institutions. He has been invited to deliver, organize, or moderate over three dozen presentations to academic and non-academic audiences alike at the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Center for the Intrepid at Brooke Army Medical Center (Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas), Harvard University, Howard University, Imperial War Museum (London), Institute of Historical Research of the University of London, Institute of the History of Medicine of Johns Hopkins University, National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian Institution, Smith College, Tufts University, University of Barcelona, University of Manchester, University of Wisconsin at Madison and Villanova University.
