Dr. Katherine Barbieri, an associate professor of political science, has been named a fellow with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.

The FDD academic fellowship program takes place June 9 – 20 in Israel, where Barbieri will join other scholars, diplomats and military officials from India, Israel, Jordan, Turkey and the United States in giving a series of lectures on various aspects of terrorism and how democratic states combat the threat.

The mission of the FDD, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, is to educate Americans about the terrorist threat to democracies worldwide.
