About INSER

The UW Institute for National Security Education and Research has the following goals:

(1) Creating new models for interdisciplinary teaching and learning on national security and intelligence issues,

(2) Developing a strategy to engage the UW’s schools and colleges in a strategic planning effort to ensure that UW INSER has maximum reach across the university community,

(3) Generating cutting-edge research on national security and intelligence issues by engaging cross-disciplinary faculty in a cogent and concerted manner,

(4) Integrating distance learning as a common practice to create and expand educational opportunities, especially as prospective students employed in the national security and intelligence fields may be living and working around the globe for extended periods of their careers,

(5) Researching how student cultural immersion experiences abroad may influence the way students conduct research on, analyze, and interpret events in these countries, and

(6) Generating community-level discussions about national security and intelligence issues that allow diverse groups—students, parents, teachers, government officials, and corporate managers—to explore together national security issues and the role of intelligence in our democratic society.
