thisinterdisciplinary program may provide advantageous opportunities for doctoral students to crossdisciplinary boundaries in materials discovery and development.IntroductionWithin traditional graduate education programs, students acquire and develop discipline-specificknowledge, skills, and values with little focus on collaboration and exploration outside one’sfield or area of expertise. Solutions to the complex problems of today, though, often fallbetween or across disciplinary boundaries; suggesting the need for current graduate educationmodels to span interdisciplinary research collaborations and innovative problem-solvingprocesses to find unique and creative solutions to society’s most pressing concerns.Trends within the field of materials science suggest

about the project and methods. Thus we decided to share ourmethods more broadly by preparing a manuscript about our innovative methods for a journal onmethods. 25 We are currently determining the best venue for this work. The manuscript focuseson two graphic elicitation methods that we developed and used in our in-depth interviews ofstudent veterans in the US: the key event timeline and the identity circle. The resulting dataoffers rich and deep description beyond what could be captured through traditional in-depthinterviews. These methods allowed participants to construct their own narratives about theirexperiences and helped elicit counter-narratives that challenge prevailing assumptions aboutwhat it means to be a veteran in higher education
