Thursday, December 1, 2016 - 12:00pm to 1:30pm
4130 Wesley W. Posvar Hall, University of Pittsburgh

This talk explores the relationship between national securitization, liberal warfare, and transnational linkages and encounters between the U.S. and the North Africa/Middle East region. Drawing on over a year of research in Israel/Palestine, this talk examines how the tethering of U.S. terrorism law and policy to foreign aid transactions is giving rise to expansive networks of surveillance and enforcement far beyond U.S. borders.
