Conversations in Conflict Studies presents: Peg Hermann

341 Eggers Hall, the Moynihan Conference Room

Add to: Outlook, ICal, Google Calendar

Peg Hermann is a Professor of Political Science at Syracuse University and the Director of the Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs at the Maxwell School.  She and her team focus on mapping and monitoring the activities of transnational criminal organizations through the "states within states" that form the safe havens from which such groups operate. Like the black holes in astronomy, these places - which they call black spots - are difficult to locate and identify, but pulsate with energy. 

She will speak about her team's in-depth case studies of 95 black spots and insecurity flows between them. She will also discuss her team's monitoring methods for observing these criminal organizations and the ramifications for disrupting these black spots. 
Pizza will be served.  Follow us on Facebook at: PARCCatMaxwell, tweet #ConvolnConflict.

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.
