ItemVaccination and the Public in the 21st Century( 2016-03-01) Hausman, BerniceUnderstanding contemporary vaccination controversy demands sensitive attention to the meaning of scientific evidence i the public sphere. Approaching vaccine skepticism from a rhetorical perspective reveals how vaccination controversy is embedded in its historical context, is responsive to various trends in both medicine and the law, and is not simply the result of scientific illiteracy. This talk will focus on a few specific vaccination controversies in order to highlight how ordinary people on both sides of the issue make decisions about vaccination and represent their own reasoning as deliberative and embedded in their values and world views. The talk may touch on the effect of inflammatory news reporting about vaccination and disease outbreaks on public understanding of the controversy and its possible solutions.

ItemThe Liberal Arts, Technology, and National Security( 2016-02-26) Carlson, Lonnie ; Quinn, MichaelLonnie Carlson's presentation is titled "Precenting Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation - Leveraging Special Operations Forces to Shape the Operational Environment". The potential use of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) by terrorist or adversarial state actors is the greatest threat to U.S. security and interests. Limited understanding of WMD proliferation networks by U.S. and partner security forces however results in a lack of timely indications, warning, and actionable intelligence needed to conduct time sensitive operations against fleeting WMD targets. This paper assesses options and proposes a framework to leverage Special Operations Forces (SOF) core activities to disrupt and defeat proliferation networks. Recommendations to build SOF WMD expertise, improve U.S. Government interagency collaboration, and gain necessary resources enables execution of effective and efficient Preparation of the Environment (PE) and Building Partner Capacity (BPC) activities needed to set the conditions for successful interdiction of proliferated WMD.
