Since the 1990s, Ohio State’s Military Frontiers Graduate Symposium has sought to spark interdisciplinary conversations and debates on themes of national and international security, military and society, war and peace. Held biannually, the conference encourages conversations between promising graduate students and established scholars on topics of contemporary relevance in the fields of foreign policy, warfare, and national security. By bringing together emerging scholars in different fields working on similar topics, the conference aims to promote communication and cooperation across academic disciplines.
In its 2021 iteration, the Military Frontiers Graduate Symposium will convene panels on multinational cooperation and military alliances at war; new frontiers in Cold War research; and the experience of minorities during wartime. In the midst of an unprecedented global pandemic, we recognize the need for collaboration and cooperative thinking are greater than ever.
Mershon Senior Faculty Fellows Peter Mansoor and Dakota Rudesill serve as commentators during this event.
