Janne Nolan Prize Winners: Technology in a Changing IR Landscape

Tuesday, May 11, 2021 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm

The CSIS Smart Women, Smart Power Initiative, the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at Johns Hopkins SAIS, and Bridging the Gap are pleased to host the 2021 Future Strategy Forum, an initiative to connect scholars who research national security with its leading practitioners. Future Strategy Forum: National Security and Technology will feature an opening keynote speech on May 10 with Anne Neuberger, Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technology and a closing keynote discussion with Rose Gottemoeller, Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution on May 11, 2021, in addition to three panels over three days exploring national security and technology, plus a war game with the Hoover Institution’s Dr. Jacquelyn Schneider.

In 2020, as part of the Future Strategy Forum, the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs, in cooperation with CSIS and the Texas National Security Review, offered prizes to the best new scholarship from early career scholars in national and international security.

Winners of the Janne Nolan Prize competition, Dr. Jane Vaynman, Dr. John Emery and Ms. Saher Naumaan will speak on their winning essays to be published this summer in a special edition of the Texas National Security Review. Their articles cover topics ranging from emerging technology, to political-military war gaming, and surveillance issues in the modern era. The conversation will illuminate other technology-driven challenges in national security.
