Join us for a conversation with historian Jeff Rogg\, who studies the history of U.S. intelligence and its relationship with the American public. Drawing on his research\, Rogg will explore why Americans have often been wary of government intelligence activities while simultaneously participating in systems of surveillance\, and how these contradictions have shaped the development of the U.S. intelligence community.\n\n\n\nThe program will also examine the role citizens play in the nation&rsquo\;s intelligence system\, highlighting how public attitudes\, technological habits\, and civic understanding influence both the limits and possibilities of intelligence in a constitutional republic.\n\n\n\nProgram Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\n 5\:30 p.m. Doors Open &\; Check-In Available\n\n 6\:00 p.m. Program Begins\n\n 7\:10 p.m. Audience Q&\;A\n\n 7\:30 p.m. Program Concludes (Begin Book Sale/Signing &\; Dessert Reception)\n\n 8\:00 p.m. Book Sale/Signing &\; Dessert Reception Concludes\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore You Go\n\n\n\n\n\n Admission is free\, but registration is required.
