Workshop: Developing New Methods and Analytic Networks for Researching Intelligence Communities and De-Classified National Security Documents

该奖项是为了支持在北卡罗来纳州州立大学举办的一个研讨会，该研讨会将汇集情报分析人员和从业人员以及科学、技术和社会（STS）学者;参与者将来自美国和英国。研讨会参与者将讨论的主题之一是研究情报界与保密需要之间的冲突。 更广泛地说，研讨会将侧重于分析情报界和解密国家安全文件的研究方法。它将讨论如何发展和应用STS概念，框架和方法来理解情报工作中的知识生产。它还将解决如何增加STS和相关学者，情报从业人员和公民社会成员之间的专业参与的机会和背景。一个社区（国家，国家，集体）如何收集和利用情报信息是及时和最重要的关注，这意味着开发更好的方法来研究保密和保密实践对知识收集和利用的影响是非常重要的。该项目有一个强有力的传播计划，将使讲习班的程序对多个社区，包括情报从业人员，决策者和公众产生广泛的影响。

This award is to support a workshop at North Carolina State University that will bring together intelligence analysts and practitioners with scholars in Science, Technology, and Society (STS); participants will be from both the United States and the United Kingdom. Among the topics to be discussed by workshop participants is the conflict between studying intelligence communities and the need for secrecy. More broadly, the workshop will focus on research methods for analyzing intelligence communities and de-classified national security documents. It will discuss how to develop and apply STS concepts, frameworks, and methods to understand the production of knowledge in intelligence work. It will also address how to increase opportunities and contexts for professional engagements between STS and related scholars, intelligence practitioners, and civil society members.How a community (country, state, collective) gathers and utilizes intelligence information is both timely and of utmost concern, which means that developing better ways to study secrecy and the influence of secrecy practices on knowledge gathering and utilization is very important. The project has a strong dissemination plan that will enable the workshop proceedings to have a broad impact on multiple communities including intelligence practitioners, policymakers, and the public.
