In this week’s episode of "ATB," host Dr. Dave Oakley sits down with Dr. Randy Larsen, the Associate Dean for Research at the College of Arts and Sciences. Together, they delve into groundbreaking projects reshaping our understanding of national security and human dynamics: BICI and SAIL.

SAIL aims to establish a comprehensive hub for the USF National Security and Human Dynamics Network, enhancing research, education, and workforce development across the nation. Meanwhile, BICI is a collaborative effort between USF and United States Central Command to quantify how nations influence each other within the Great Power Competition framework.

Join us as we explore the complexities of international relations and the implications of power dynamics in today’s geopolitical landscape. Tune in to gain insights that could shape future policy and technology discussions!

At the Boundary from the Global and National Security Institute at the University of South Florida, features global and national security issues we’ve found to be insightful, intriguing, fascinating, maybe controversial, but overall just worth talking about.

A "boundary" is a place, either literal or figurative, where two forces exist in close proximity to each other. Sometimes that boundary is in a state of harmony. More often than not, that boundary has a bit of chaos baked in. The Global and National Security Institute will live on the boundary of security policy and technology and that's where this podcast will focus.

The mission of GNSI is to provide actionable solutions to 21st-century security challenges for decision-makers at the local, state, national and global levels. We hope you enjoy At the Boundary.
