A Fireside Chat with Nicholas J. Rasmussen and Avril Haines

Hosted by the Oxford University International Relations Society & the Oxford Emerging Threats Group

Join us this Friday for conversation with Nicholas J. Rasmussen, Senior Advisor for National Security & Leadership Programs at the McCain Institute, who has served as a leading U.S. official on national security, intelligence, and counterterrorism for more than three decades. A previous director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) from 2014-2017, Rasmussen’s expertise encompasses national security strategy, policy and decision-making as well as counterterrorism and the confluence of national security and technology. The discussion will be led by Avril Haines, who served as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) during the Biden Administration.

This fireside chat is a great opportunity for students, researchers and practitioners interested in the theory, policy and practice of national and international security.
