The seventh volume of the academic book series “Security and Society in the Information Age” has just been published. The volume brings together a series of research papers by participants in the Security and Society in the Information Age program held at Collegium Civitas.
Between June and July 2024, the tenth edition of the Summer School “Security and Society in the Information Age” was held at Collegium Civitas. In 2024, our university hosted 20 students from U.S. universities. The program combined the four-week intensive course on Central Europe & Security Issues with a two-week research internship with the Terrorism Research Center.
Designed and launched jointly by SRAS (USA) and Collegium Civitas, the summer school program addresses global issues from unique perspectives. The participants also learned about Poland’s rich history and culture, visited the Warsaw Rising Museum and POLIN Museum, and participated in study tours to Cracow and Berlin, Germany.
During the research internship, the participants focused on a research project. They worked under the supervision of mentors: Dr. Paulina Piasecka, Dr. Vanessa Tinker, Dr. Monika Nowicka, and Dr. Katarzyna Maniszewska. As a result of the program, the participants completed academic papers for publication in Security and Society in the Information Age, Volume 7.
This year’s curriculum was particularly poignant, focusing on the regional and global implications of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and exploring the interconnectedness of conflicts across different regions, including the Middle East. The topics discussed during the program are reflected in the papers by the contributors to this volume. The topics range from hybrid warfare, migration issues, and countering terrorism through war and peacebuilding to geopolitical strategies of powers in the multipolar world.
