The future will thank us: an intergenerational approach to security

The National Security Podcast

About

What is intergenerational security and how does it intersect with traditional concepts of national security?

How do intergenerational dynamics and differing interactions with technology, social media and AI impact security and resilience?

What are the security issues that young Australians care about and how do these differ from the concerns of older Australians?

 

In this episode Sally Bulkeley is joined by Afeeya Akhand and Victoria Cooper to discuss intergenerational security and the differing perspectives across age demographics in Australia.


Afeeya Akhand is an Emerging Associate with the ANU National Security College (NSC). Her research focuses on South Korean foreign policy, Indo-Pacific security, inclusion and social cohesion.

Victoria Cooper is a Senior Analyst at the Development Intelligence Lab and focused on foreign policy and the interaction of socio-political trends, development and security. She is also an Emerging Associate with NSC.

Sally Bulkeley is Deputy Head of College at NSC.
