Finalist Essays from the Center for Homeland Defense and Security's Third Annual Essay Competition, 2010
The Center for Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS) essay contest, now in its third year, is aimed at stimulating original thought on issues in Homeland Security and Homeland Defense. CHDS launched the contest in 2008 to provide people from around the country the opportunity to express their opinions on homeland security issues and to suggest new ideas. This year's winner and four finalists were selected from 145 contest submissions by a committee comprised of CHDS staff, faculty, and alumni. The variety of the essay topics submitted, as well as the backgrounds of the authors, highlights the vast scope of the impact that homeland security policies, programs, and challenges have on our communities and professions. This year's contestants were asked to answer the question, "How can, or should, the United States make homeland security a more layered, networked, and resilient endeavor involving all citizens?" This compilation includes the winning essay "Twitter, Facebook, and Ten Red Balloons: Social Network Problem Solving and Homeland Security" Major Christopher M. Ford, and the four finalist essays: "Examining the Effective Use of Unaffiliated Volunteers" by Mark Bejarano, "Unacceptable Gaps: Community Grassroots Involvement in Homeland Security" by Lieutenant Jessica Bylsma, "Involving Citizens in Homeland Security - Changing the National Culture of Assumed Safety" by Mary Theresa Flynn, and "Homeland Bureaucracy - How to Reshape American Homeland Security Policy to Better Engage its Intelligence Professionals through a Layered, Networked and Resilient Attack Upon Terrorism at Home and Abroad" by Andrew Hicks.

Inequality in Household Adaptation to Schooling Shocks: Covid-Induced Online Learning Engagement in Real Time
From the Abstract: "We use high frequency internet search data to study in real time how US households sought out online learning resources as schools closed due to the Covid-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. By April 2020, nationwide search intensity for both school- and parent-centered online learning resources had roughly doubled relative to baseline. Areas of the country with higher income, better internet access and fewer rural schools saw substantially larger increases in search intensity. The pandemic will likely widen achievement gaps along these dimensions given schools' and parents' differing engagement with online resources to compensate for lost school-based learning time. Accounting for such differences and promoting more equitable access to online learning could improve the effectiveness of education policy responses to the pandemic. The public availability of internet search data allows our analyses to be updated when schools reopen and to be replicated in other countries."
