TSAS aims to cultivate a new generation of well-informed scholars and policy analysts. The Summer Academy is a principal part of this plan and in July 2013 brought together graduate students from 10 universities from across Canada and representatives from 8 different federal government agencies to participate in a highly focused learning experience. Addressing the three pillars of TSAS – Terrorism, Security, and Society, the Summer Academy covered a wide array of topics within our unique Canadian context. Participants received a thorough grounding in the history of Canadian terrorism, the state of research in the field, and Canada’s counter-terrorism policy and legal framework.
