Topics in Human Security and Resilience

Catalog description

This course will provide students with the opportunity to explore current and emerging topics in human security, resilience, critical infrastructure security, and several other topics as they develop. As the discipline of human security and resilience is dynamic and complex, not all relevant topics can be integrated into the MHSR core curriculum. The main function of this course is to provide a platform to explore pertinent and topical expressions, policies, challenges or dangers to security/resilience as they occur across the globe. As such, each semester will thoroughly explore a given topic and learn how the topic presents national security or homeland security challenges to the US. Students will be expected to synthesize relevant literature and analyze trends and data in order to make the connections to US security.
