  • Rural Jails & Telemedicine Opportunities with Dr. Eric Connolly
    Nov 4 2024
    Telemedicine has greatly increased opportunities for mental health treatment, especially in isolated and rural areas. Texas prisons have taken advantage of telemedicine options, but access is more limited and complicated in local jails. This week, we're joined by Dr. Eric Connolly, associate professor of criminal justice and criminology at Sam Houston State University, to explore his research on opportunities and challenges for telemedicine and mental health in jails and prisons. Dr. Connolly's paper is An Evaluation of the Current Infrastructure for Treating Mental Illness In Texas Correctional Facilities.

  • Disinformation as a Weapon of War: Reflections on the Second Thought Leaders Conference
    Oct 18 2024
    In a hot or cold war, enemies have a say in defining the nature of the conflict. Experts at the second Thought Leaders Conference argued hostile nations are waging a disinformation war against the United States right now, often targeting critical infrastructure by encouraging hostility, polarization and chaos in the general public. We reflect on the conference with Scott McHugh, program executive at the Institute for Homeland Security and host of the Thought Leaders Conference; Mike Aspland, executive director of the Institute for Homeland Security; and Garreth Tiefenbach, director of the De-Escalation Training Center. Special thanks to IHS Coordinator Shelby Payne for coordinating the conference.
