BATTEN HOUR: Safeguarding the Homeland

Join us for a timely Batten Hour discussion on homeland security intelligence with Kenneth L. Wainstein, UVA alum and under secretary for intelligence and analysis for the Department of Homeland Security.  Wainstein oversees building and maintaining an intelligence program in the United States that detects and prevents threats to the homeland and serves as an information-sharing bridge linking federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies with state, local, tribal, territorial, and private sector partners—all while maintaining a focus on civil liberties and individual privacy.  

This discussion, moderated by Ashley Deeks, director of UVA’s National Security Law Center and a Miller Center faculty senior fellow, will cover election security as well as provide insights into this lesser known but vital player in the U.S. intelligence community. 

This event is jointly hosted by UVA Batten, the National Security Policy Center, the Karsh Institute of Democracy, and the Miller Center. 

Introduction by NSPC Founding Director, Phil Potter.

Registration available in person or online.
