Dr. Driscoll's research examines the intersection of historical events and cultural representation, particularly focusing on veteran experiences, pandemic responses, and oral traditions. His work bridges academic rigor with accessible storytelling through books and scholarly articles that analyze media portrayals, societal trauma, and community memory in 20th-century America.

His recent publication "Primetime Vet" (2022) exemplifies his methodological approach, investigating how television shaped public perception of Vietnam veterans. This aligns with broader patterns in his scholarship that connect military history with cultural production and social memory across multiple media formats.
