Sam sits down with Dr. Scott Parrott, head of the University of Alabama’s Veterans and Media Lab. His research examines portrayals of veterans in the media and how they shape outside perceptions of topics such as veteran mental health. Sam and Dr. Parrott discuss things that media and pop culture commonly get wrong, how inaccurate portrayals of veterans influence society, and how past and future research conducted through the Veterans and Media Lab can help us think about these issues in new ways.
