Risk, Technology and Security

On Thursday February 13^th 2020, from 2:30 pm to 4 pm, at 30 Stewart (room 312), Mark Salter, Core Member of the ISSP and Leader of the Risk, Technology and Security Research Cluster, presented the How to Publish More Workshop.

Writing a lot is the dream of some and a necessity for many. Each professor is a writer, but sometimes the writing of a book or an article becomes a challenge. This workshop will present strategies to overcome the barriers to writing and will discuss tactics to improve your writing productivity and will also introduce tactics on how to publish more.

On January 30, at 13:30 PM, the Centre for International Policy Studies (CIPS) and the ISSP invited you to a talk about the Arctic, which will convene experts and practitioners with different perspectives on the challenges in a changing Arctic region.

Nations constantly make decisions about national security in the face of uncertainty or incomplete information. The outcomes of these decisions are often unpredictable, and success is often invisible.

Mark Salter explains how the national security apparatus is built to withstand disruption and why Canadians’ sense of what constitutes a national security threat is a reflection of our culture and values.

Recommendations:

• Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor by Rob Nixon
• The Right to be Cold by Sheila Watt-Cloutier
