Academia and Military/Intelligence Operations Report

In partnership with the UCHRI, the Center for Ethnography is sponsoring a series of studio sessions that examine the uses and complicities of concepts and theories of culture developed in academic domains in the contemporary conduct of warfare, and of intelligence and security operations. The first studio session: 'Militarizing Critical Theory' occurred in May of this year. There will be another studio session of the same character, co-sponsored with UCHRI, on the topic of "Interrogation'. We hope to schedule this one for the coming spring. Aside from members of the AAA Commission, we plan to invite others who have practiced interrogation, or been interrogated by state agencies.
