Sep 23/Cleveland, OH - The University and National Security after 9/11

After the September 11 attacks people often said "everything has changed." Ten years later, it is time to consider what has changed and what it means. This symposium will consider the impact of post-9/11 national security concerns on universities, professors, and students.

First, what role have academics played in national security matters, historically and currently, and what are the implications? Speakers will consider the ethical issues raised by the military's use of anthropologists and geographers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the impact of legal professors’ participation in national security matters, as advocates for detainees or as government lawyers. Second, what implications has 9/11 had on the day-to-day operation of universities? Issues range from threats to academic freedom to questions about resource allocation. Finally, in what ways have our national security concerns and sense of insecurity influenced academic discourse?
