Karen J. Greenberg has moved to Fordham University School of Law to launch its new Center on National Security. Ms. Greenberg, who founded the Center on Law and Security at New York University School of Law in 2003 and served as its executive director, began work on Monday at Fordham designing a program that will focus on research, policy work and public programs on issues related to terrorism, national and global security, including cyber security. “We’ll be looking at ways that terrorism has affected the national security over the past 10 years—determining what kind of research and policy projects will help us gain an understanding of the larger national security implications” of anti-terrorism efforts, said Ms. Greenberg. “I wanted a bigger venue and Fordham was really hungry for the center and interested in helping me grow it into a larger enterprise.”
Ms. Greenberg joins Fordham Law as a visiting fellow as well as director of the center, where she plans to draw on some of the same practitioners, policy makers and academics who worked on projects at NYU. Working with Ms. Greenberg will be Fordham Law Professors Andrew Kent, an expert on national security, and Martin Flaherty and Thomas Lee of the Leitner Center for International Law and Justice, as well as a number of fellows, including Lawrence Wright, the author of “The Looming Tower Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11.”
