We read, hear and talk about Global Security all the time. Media keeps us busy with the news related to the national or international security. ‘Security’ is also a field of study. It investigates ways to make sense of and understand security politics, (in)security trends and issues of (in)security.

In this lecture series, the audience can expect some conceptual and thematic discussions about Global (In)Security. Our lecturer, Birsen Erdogan (sometimes alone, sometimes with her guests) will discuss several contemporary cases in every lecture where concepts and perspectives are applied to real.
