Juliette Kayyem, Home Sweet Homeland: Protecting America in an Age of Mayhem

There are many serious issues affecting our homes and our country: increasing violence, weakening international relations, natural disasters, climate change, homegrown and foreign terrorism, incarceration, illegal immigration, privacy vs security, technology advances such as drones and AI, the sometimes chaotic political climate, the Wall, the economy and the seeming growing instability of our way of life.

These issues will be explored, professional advice will be offered, personal anecdotes shared, and your questions will be welcomed by CNN Security Analyst, local NPR/WGBH Contributor, former Homeland Security Deputy Secretary, Harvard Kennedy School Professor, Pulitzer Prize nominee and author Juliette Kayyem.

This talk will be of interest to all citizens, law enforcement, and public and private security professionals concerned with protecting their safety and security. Parents, grandparents, students and teachers will all benefit from learning how to protect themselves.
