Dr. Joseph Goldberg is a "defense intellectual" who worked for over three decades on actual and emerging international "hotspots."  His talk will focus on India and will cover a broad range of issues, including the potential for terrorist activity in India.
Dr. Goldberg is a native of Sioux City, Iowa and received his Ph.D. in political science from the University of Washington (Seattle).  He studied as well at the University of Minnesota and the University of Michigan.  He served as a faculty member at Simon Frazer University (Vancouver, British Columbia), the University of Virginia, and Hampden-Sydney College (Farmville, Virginia), where he served as well as Chairman of the Department of Political Science.
He accepted a position as Director of Research at the Institute for Strategic Studies at the National Defense University, where he conducted and directed research on national security concerns.  After five years, he joined the faculty of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces (now the Eisenhower School) as a Professor of National Security Studies.  In addition to examining strategic issues, Dr. Goldberg concentrated on counter-terrorism, South Asia, and weapons of mass destruction.  Dr. Goldberg has published on national security concerns in these areas, as well as on the Middle East.  As is the case with many Department of Defense officials, his work required significant foreign travel.
After over twenty years with the U.S. government, Dr. Goldberg retired and has been working on a study of terrorism in India, an issue that has enabled him to integrate ideas related to the areas on which he has worked for many years.
The issues on which he will speak are of great concern to the United States and the rest of the world.
