Podcast: Studying with The Centre for Science and Security Studies

Date of publication: 06/07/2018 Description: The School of Security Studies at King's is not only home to the Depts of War Studies and Defense Studies, but it is also home to multiple research and teaching centres, one of which is the focus of today's podcast. The Centre for Science and Security Studies, or CSSS, is a multi-disciplinary research and teaching group that brings together scientific experts with specialists in politics, international relations and history across the Departments of War Studies and Defence Studies. Like many of the centre's that help form the School of Security Studies, CSSS plays a crucial role in teaching, particularly on MA courses. Three unique MA programs are run within CSSS: these include the MAs in Science and Security, Non-Proliferation and International Security, and Arms Control and International Security. Through these specialized courses, students have the opportunity to engage with technical and theoretical aspects of their respective areas of study, as well as gain practical experience engaging in policy debate and diplomacy through simulations. On the 12th of June, we caught Drs. Susan Martin and Hassan Elbahtimy for a quick discussion about the Centre's MA courses just before they headed off to lead this year's annual CSSS MA Simulation. ________________ This podcast was produced by Kirk Allen.
