New Project on Security, Military, and U.S. Society
A new ISERP-sponsored project is fostering research and discussion about sociological, historical and political intersections of civil society and military, security and related concerns. Directed by William McAllister (ISERP), Allan Silver (Sociology), and Ian Roxborough (SUNY Stony Brook), the Project on Security, Military, and U.S. Society seeks to encourage the social sciences, largely oriented towards civil society, to incorporate war and other forms of state violence more fully into social theory and research rather than treat these as exceptional and exogenous.
The Project has launched a monthly seminar series to build up a core group of researchers and to engage people both inside and outside academia, including social scientists, historians, lawyers, journalists, military experts, policy analysts, and others.
