Karen J. Greenberg
Greenberg is Director of the Center on National Security at the Fordham University School of Law.
She will be speaking on “Today’s National Security Landscape: The Evolving Legacy of Terrorism.” What is the impact of ISIS’s loss of the caliphate and what does it mean for terrorism worldwide? Is there a resurgence of al Qaeda? What are the differences between the threat of terrorism in Europe and here in the United States? What can we learn from the ISIS prosecutions in the United States?
