Each breakout session group to be given a different list of question or issues to respond to, as follows: Group A (Johnnie Carson, Chair, Rm. 205): · What do current homeland security educational programs encompass, and why are they important? · What areas should such programs encompass that are not necessarily obvious? · What are the differences between existing social science, political science, or natural science degree programs and potential or current homeland security curricula? Group B (Max M. Houck, Chair, Rm. 201): · What kinds of careers would a university-based homeland security education prepare one for? Group C (Heather Kiriakou, Chair, Rm. 206): · What parallelisms can one draw between the post-9/11 emergence of academic offerings in homeland security and the emergence of area studies, international relations, and science policy in the Cold War era?

34 APPENDIX B Group D (Arie Kruglanski, Chair, Rm. 100) · With respect to developing workforce skills, to what extent should homeland security curricula be uniform versus specialized? What core skills should all workers in this area (however it is defined) have? If there needs to be additional specialization around the core, what might be areas of specialization and how would they be integrated into the curriculum? · What are the most important unanswered questions with respect to homeland security educational issues? Group E (Monica Shoch-Spana, Chair, Rm. 213) · What curricular content is or should be unique to homeland security, and what is or would be a repackaging of existing material? · Is homeland security inherently an emerging discipline of its own, or is it better characterized as an interdisciplinary thrust? 3:30-4:25 Breakout Session II Reports Moderator: Debra Stewart, President, Council of Graduate Schools and Workshop Committee Member 4:25-4:30 Summary Comments Melvin Bernstein, Director, Office of University Programs, Department of Homeland Security 4:30-4:35 Closing Comments Irwin Feller, Senior Visiting Scientist, American Association for the Advancement of Science and Workshop Committee Chair

This report explores whether there are core pedagogical and skill-based homeland security program needs; examines current and proposed education programs focusing on various aspects of homeland security; comments on the possible parallels between homeland security, area studies, international relations, and science policy, as developed or emerging academic thrusts; and suggests potential curricula needs, particularly those that involve interdisciplinary aspects. The report concentrates almost exclusively on coursework-related offerings, primarily at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
