Security Conference: HOME

A Conference at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
April 11-12, 2003

Primary Venue: Hefter Conference Center

This conference seeks to strengthen the voices of academics and practitioners who are calling for security to be understood in the broadest sense. Our goal is to expand traditional political-military definitions of security to include explorations of terrorism, development, peacebuilding, environment, health, human rights, and religion, as well as the social, economic, cultural, and psychic dimensions of security in a period of rapid globalization.
