The Origins of American Counterterrorism, with Mike Newell

SU Maxwell School Ph.D. Candidate Mike Newell explores the rise of the American national security and counterterrorism regime during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when the country faced threats from the KKK, Fenians, and Anarchists. In doing so, he seeks to understand the social and political processes that engendered our modern perceptions of “threat” and “security.”  Part of the Andrew Berlin Family National Security Research Fund
