Welcome to Hacking for Diplomacy Fall 2018

At a time of significant global uncertainty, government agencies, nonprofit organizations and companies are grappling with problems that defy territorial boundaries and resist quick and effective resolution. “Hacking for Diplomacy” is a multidisciplinary course at James Madison University that prepares students  to respond to such challenges. It does so by applying innovative design methods to real and pressing problems faced by organizations in the public and private sectors.

Our collaborating partners for this course are The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Allied Command Transformation (ACT); the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (J), at U.S. Department of State; Bureau of Counterterrorism and CVE (CT) at U.S. Department of State; and District of Columbia National Guard.
