“Disciplining Terror: Experts, Rational Knowledge, and Irrational Subjects.” Lisa Stampnitzky, Ph.D.- Fellow at the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History at Harvard University This talk draws upon Lisa’s forthcoming book, Disciplining Terror: How Experts and Others Invented Terrorism. Stampnitzky will argue that the concept of “terrorism” and the field of terrorism expertise first manifested in the 1970s, and that the way in which these areas took shape has significantly constrained the possibilities for both counterterrorism policy and counterterrorism expertise.

We’re Turning 100!

To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
