Dr. Samuel D. Henkin is a researcher on the Geospatial Research Unit (GRU) at START. His approach to the study of political violence, instability, and conflict is the result of his own geographic education which focused on a rigorous survey of critical theory and methodological multiplicity at the leading-edge of geographic inquiry. Specific research interests include spatial relations of violence in everyday life, the intersections of political geography and security, and political violence in Southeast Asia.
START’s MPS in Security & Terrorism Studies is a 36-credit, fully online graduate program which prepares students to examine the complex social, political, economic, and psychological underpinnings of terrorist and other asymmetric security threats. Students can take classes full- or part-time, and small class sizes enable students to receive the full attention of some of the top experts in the fields of intelligence analysis, national security and terrorism studies. Apply for the Fall 2021 semester by August 3, 2021.
