Faculty Network

I co-founded the Security Studies Faculty Network in 2004. (We used to be called the “Young Faculty Network” and then we got old.) The network seeks to promote connections and collaboration among faculty in security studies, and mentoring of younger tenure-track members. Members are scholars doing work motivated by important questions in US foreign policy and global security. The group addresses the need to build stronger networks among such researchers; many young scholars emerge from graduate school with close ties to their own classmates (at MIT, Chicago, Columbia, etc.), but are not acquainted with the broader community of scholars doing similar kinds of work. And, many young scholars take jobs at colleges or universities at which there are no other colleagues who work on similar topics, or who use similar methods; one of the group’s goals is to give such people a broader scholarly community with which to interact.

The group meets twice annually at APSA and ISA. I hope that networking within this group will support the career advancement of its members by encouraging them to vet their work among one another, to develop co-author relationships, to form conference panels, and to invite each other to give talks and participate at conferences at their various universities. In this way we hope the group encourages junior faculty doing our type of research to see each other as potential allies, co-authors, and friends.

Upcoming Events

Our group meets for happy hours at both the APSA and ISA meetings (often the Friday night of the conference). Members will receive invitations a month or two before these meetings. Unfortunately the group is unfunded so members are responsible for their own drinks/food, etc.
