WoC and National Security: Reimagining Our Futures
Description:
“We think a lot about whether traditional definitions of national security are enough when it comes to threats to Americans, particularly women of color, at home and abroad.” Ambassador Bonnie Jenkins. As threats posed to the United States national security become more intense, the U.S. must reimagine what it considers a threat to its national security. This discussion session aims to deduce ways in which Americans define national security. A few of the questions we will discuss include:
- How do we define and address domestic terrorism?
- How does cybersecurity intersect with national security?
- Does national security include the protection of Brown and Black Americans?
