Tikvah is partnering with the Alexander Hamilton Institute for the Study of Western Civilization to offer a new seminar on cognitive warfare with Dr. Juliana Geran Pilon. This seminar will examine key issues necessary for understanding the history and methods of cognitive warfare currently being waged by enemies both external and homegrown. Each session will be conducted by an expert specialized in that week’s subject matter, engaging participants in conversations based primarily on short readings. The seminar consists of six weekly lunchtime sessions at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) on Fridays and six Sunday evening Zoom sessions. Upon successful completion of the program and an optional written assignment, participants will be eligible to receive a certificate from the Alexander Hamilton Institute.
