This symposium will explore the role of state, non-state, and international actors in solving or mitigating human security challenges. Human security, as a governing principle, emphasizes freedom from want and freedom from fear as opposed to traditional national security, which emphasizes sovereignty and territorial integrity. Threats to human security manifest in several different ways, including economic, food, healthcare, and environmental challenges for institutions that may have a role in addressing. The symposium will bring together scholars, practitioners, and students from all over the world to discuss this impactful and important topic.
Although not necessary for attending, participants are invited to submit abstracts for panel presentations on topics related to the theme. The symposium planning group will select panelists from the highest quality submissions that are deemed most relevant. Please see the “Call for Abstracts” tab.
Potential questions that may stimulate ideas for abstract submissions and discussion include the following:
