Listen Later

Joan Barker is a consultant specializing in military language and culture training. She has worked on educational contracts for U.S. Special Operations Command and overseas as a trainer with partner forces in the United Arab Emirates and Afghanistan. From 2017 to 2018 she worked on a defense contract in Kabul teaching English to members of the Afghan air force and Special Mission Wing (SMW). After the fall of Kabul, Barker spent months advocating for the evacuation of Special Immigrant Visa interpreters, as well as vulnerable members of the SMW. She also worked to highlight the issue of moral injury affecting veterans of the war in Afghanistan. This spring, she taught English to Afghan refugees that processed through Fort McCoy, Wis., as part of Operation Allies Welcome.
