Fordham Law’s Center on National Security will host a day-long symposium that will address the complex and shifting nature of citizenship rights in a post 9/11 world.
Experts will tackle topics such as the effects of post 9/11 legal and policy battles on the legal rights of citizens and non-citizens, the tensions between the state’s duty to protect and its desire to protect individual rights and liberties, and whether vigilance about terrorism has weakened the protections associated with citizenship, particularly with respect to ethnic and religious minorities.
Friday, Sept. 20
9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
