"Courage First": Dissent, Debate, and the Origins of U.S. Responsiveness to Mass Killing

Open to the Public

What explains variation in the U.S. response to mass killings abroad? ISP Research Fellow Amanda J. Rothschild explores this question through the detailed examination of U.S. policy throughout the twentieth century. Drawing on materials from eight archives across the United States as well as oral history interviews, Rothschild proposes a theory explaining how, when, and why the United States pursues a range of policy options.

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
