About Conflict and Human Security Studies (CHSS)

The CHSS program helps provide a holistic and empathetic lens to better understand the security environment. To accomplish the mission discussed above, we found that there is a critical need for both increased research and practical experience for faculty and cadets to gain deeper insights into the problem of human security. Under the direction of Ruth Margolies Beitler, Professor of Comparative Politics in the Department of Social Sciences, both faculty members and cadets have multiple opportunities to increase their understanding of the roots of conflict using a human security perspective that sheds light on the comprehensive nature of security.
