[tips] Pentagon funding social science

[FRANTZ, SUE]

Title: tips digest: June 18, 2008

Interesting article in the NY Times, Pentagon to Consult Academics on Security: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/18/arts/18minerva.html

 

"Eager to embrace eggheads and ideas, the Pentagon has started an ambitious and unusual program to recruit social scientists and direct the nation’s brainpower to combating security threats like the Chinese military, Iraq, terrorism and religious fundamentalism."

 

To what extent are psychology faculty talking with their students about issues around jobs like this?
