Ethics, Intelligence, and National Security Decision-Making: A Conversation with Avril Haines

PLEASE NOTE: This event is at capacity.

Please join the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs for a conversation with Avril Haines, former United States Director of National Intelligence. She will discuss ways to foster ethical approaches to the use of intelligence in national security decisions—as well as the role of the intelligence community more broadly amid today’s shifting geopolitics. 

Avril Haines is the President-elect of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a position she will be starting in late September. She has just completed a Visiting Fellowship at All Souls College in Oxford and a Carnegie Distinguished Fellowship at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs. Previously, she served for four years as the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, where she led the U.S. Intelligence Community and served as the President’s principal intelligence advisor. She has held senior roles across government, including Principal Deputy National Security Advisor, Deputy Director of the CIA, and Legal Adviser to the National Security Council. 

The seminar will be moderated by Belfer Center Director Meghan O'Sullivan, Jeane Kirkpatrick Professor of the Practice of International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School. 

Attendance is in-person and for HUID holders only. Space is limited so please only RSVP if you plan to attend. This event is off-the-record.
