The Veteran Anthropologist

A free weekly newsletter that decodes Australian veterans and post-service life

A little about me

​

My name is Kat Hare, and yes, it’s pronounced “cat hair”, as in feline dander. Thanks mum and dad.

​

I’m an ADF veteran who writes about everyday moments, helping me me critically reflect on military service to understand who I've become. These take form in several genres ranging from creative non-fiction to speculative fiction, and occasionally are just a rant.

​

Between second breakfast and dessert, I write with the same gusto—which includes convo starters, infographics, awards for awesomeness and other pockets of delight that inspire good community,​ plus a weekly​ newsletter that endeavours to decode post-service life—while I work towards my PhD and run a writing and publishing agency called Emereas.

​

I hope you find something here that makes you feel powerful and more connected to your loved ones.
