PROFESSOR AMY GAUDION PARTICIPATES IN PROGRAM CONSIDERING HOW RACE MANIFESTS IN NATIONAL SECURITY LAW

October 2023 — In her role as chair of the AALS Section on National Security Law, Professor Amy C. Gaudion participated in a program on How Does Race Manifest in National Security held in October 2023. The program featured a discussion with contributors to the newly published Race and National Security (Oxford University Press, September 2023). The book “interrogates what it would mean for the field and concept of national security to take issues of race and racial justice seriously,” and “seeks to fundamentally shift how national security is conceptualized by helping to redefine the field and practice.” The program included a discussion with several of the book’s contributors bringing together domestic, transnational, comparative and international law perspectives on racial justice and national security. It featured Catherine Powell of Fordham Law School, Aziz Rana of  Boston College Law School, and Matiangai V. S. Sirleaf of the University of Maryland Carey School of Law, and was moderated by Darin Johnson of Howard University School of Law.

Amy C. Gaudion is an associate professor of law at Penn State Dickinson Law as well as the founder of Dickinson Law’s annual cyberspace simulation with the U.S. Army War College. Her scholarship focuses on national security law, cyberspace, and civilian-military relations, and she leads Dickinson Law’s national security and cyberspace programs.
