On Tuesday, Mar 12 at the UFV Abbotsford campus, hear from Andrea Lane, a Defence Scientist at Defence Research and Development Canada.
A strategic analyst with the Department of National Defence, Lane’s personal research focusses on the intersection of national defence, politics, and society, examining the military as an institution, civil-military relations, personnel policy, and procurement. Her work has been published in International Journal, Canadian Foreign Policy Journal, and the Canadian Naval Review, as chapters in several books, and in popular venues such as Policy Options. She is the co-editor, with Brian Bow, of Canadian Foreign Policy: Reflections on a Field in Transition, published by UBC Press in 2020.
Topics:
• What is information warfare, narrative, and influence – definitions and common misconceptions.
• What are the international threats, and how do they impact domestic security and politics?
• What are the characteristics of democracy that make this uniquely difficult to counter?
• What can we expect in the information warfare space in the next one, five, and 10 years?
• What can Canada and Canadians do about all of this?
