Paula McFetridge will discuss portrayals of policing, borders, and contending conceptions of security as explored in the production, Green & Blue, to be performed in Pittsburgh a City Theatre Co.

This play, written by Laurence McKeown, draws from oral achieves collected from former police officer in An Garda Siochana and the Royal Ulster Constabulary (before its reorganization to become the Police Service of Northern Ireland).

Michael Glass, Assistant Professor of Sociology and Director of the Urban Studies Program at the University of Pittsburgh will discuss his recent contributions to a coedited volume, Urban violence, Resilience, and HumanSecurity: Governance Responses in the Global South (Bristol University Press 2022), in which authors offer a framework
for understanding the pervasive nature of urban violence and community responses to urban disorder.
