👩‍⚖️ Excited to kick off our 5th consulting practicum project with the Manhattan DA! This year NYU CGA Master's students will be investigating the links between #transnational #crime networks and #terrorism with an emphasis on activities that involve or pass through New York City.

🖇️ My article is out in the Journal of Global Security Studies. The study examines how armed groups win over voters in developed democracies where the state maintains territorial control & continues providing services.
🙏Many thanks to all who supported this research over the years. 🔗 bit.ly/4mXZZe2

✈️ Just back from 11 amazing days with NYU CGA Masters' students on a Global Field Intensive to #Ireland 🇮🇪 & the #UK🇬🇧

📝Students studied the conditions under which extremism & violence thrive in democracies & efforts to build more representative and effective security & governance institutions.

Proud of these NYU Center for Global Affairs Masters' students who last semester researched how violent extremists & other malicious actors may harness AI as part of DA'sDistrict Attorney's Office. Also spent a good bit of time looking at AI detection tools. Plan to share the report more widely soon

Excited to see today's @nytimes.com article on the State Dept's GEC pre-empting a Russian disinfo campaign in Latin America (nyti.ms/3Qxylac). Last spring our NYU Center for Global Affairs grad students mapped the disinfo & malign influence landscape as part of a consulting practicum for the GEC
