“Balancing Liberty and Security in U.S. Foreign Policy, Past and Present: Does the War on Terrorism Change Everything?”

The workshop is designed for current middle school and high school education teachers and university students. The Bennion Workshop is based on the concept that all teachers and students should understand democratic principles B concepts upon which democracy is built, the conditions under which it flourishes, and the dangers that threaten its existence.

The workshop will identify some of the limits on American freedom that have been launched in the past in efforts to increase national security during times of war. We will assess their results, both in terms of their actual effects on American security and in their short and long term consequences for legal rights in this country. In particular, the politics of fear and the challenges this approach to governance presents to civil liberties will be critically explored. Specifically, the course will place into historical context recent governmental actions in the War on Terror that encroach upon American civil rights and threaten to indefinitely curtail American liberties because this war has no foreseeable end.

The workshop will also include three to five special guest presenters in areas of specialized study and experience.
