Faculty Essays on 9/11

Welcome to a series of Faculty Essays on the contemporary "war on terror."

In order to promote conversation about contemporary political affairs and provide exposure to the diversity of faculty agendas within the department, we thought we might place on our website some essays written by department faculty during the summer and fall 2004 dealing with the national and international ramifications of the American war on terror. Some of these essays were written as informal essays for this website, others were written for the purposes of conference presentation, and others will appear in formal publication. They are not for attribution without express consent of the authors. We begin with a series of six essays and anticipate additional papers in the spring, including student essays. We invite you to express comments in person or by email and hope the essays give you a better sense of the breadth and depth of the department's activities.
