TENTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR INTELLIGENCE EDUCATION

(IAFIE)
VARYING APPROACHES TO INTELLIGENCE EDUCATION
MERCYHURST UNIVERSITY
July 14-16, 2014

The past decade has witnessed significant growth in intelligence studies programs across the US and
worldwide, in large part due to the events of 9/11 and their aftermath.
This years IAFIE gathering will concentrate on two contemporary approaches to the academic
intelligence studies discipline. The first is the Traditional scholarly approach found in most
institutions; while a second Applied approach has developed with considerable success over the past
20 years. This years conference will concentrate on these approaches and two tracks will be
established to showcase each.
