Panel 3: Armed and Influential: The Rise and Role of Militias

Carolyn Gallagher, Ph.D., is Professor in the School of International Service at American University. Dr. Gallagher researches organized violence by non-state actors and urban politics. She authored two books on militias and paramilitaries, and her work on these topics has been published in journals like Space and Polity and Antipode. Currently, she is researching tenant rights in Washington D.C. and cross-border cooperation in policing drug cartels.

Priya Dixit, Ph.D., is Associate Professor at Virginia Tech University. Her research interests are critical security studies (especially terrorism); qualitative research methodologies (especially discourse analysis and ethnography) and postcolonial theory in International Relations.

Currently, Dr. Dixit is researching the role played by Gurkhas in global security, taking a historical and comparative approach. She is also working on how the "war on terror" (and terrorism in general) is visualized and communicated by different social actors. A related interest is on U.S. foreign policy/national security and its conceptualization of threats, specifically the use of terrorism by states.
