Humanities Ph.D. student, William B. Murphy, will defend his dissertation titled Viewing National Security From Multiple Perspectives Utilizing A Multilayered Cartesian Coordinated System. This dissertation focuses on human security, human insecurity, anticipatory governance, and national security forecasting utilizing risk. "The Cube" develops a multidimensional decision-support model for evaluating national and human security environments across political, economic, social, infrastructure, military, systemic, informational, and environmental domains. "The Cube" bridges the gap between strategic studies, computational data, and subject-matter expertise into one easy-to-interpret graph.
