BIOGRAPHY:
Magda Long, PhD has almost two decades of combined work and academic experience in defense and security issues, intelligence, and risk management. In addition to being a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Global and National Security Institute at the Â鶹ÊÓƵ, she is also a Visiting Research Fellow at The King’s Centre for the Study of Intelligence at the War Studies Department at King’s College London and at the Centre for the Study of Subversion, Unconventional Interventions, and Terrorism at the University of Nottingham, and an Honorary Fellow at the University of Exeter’s Strategy and Security Institute.

Long’s research examines how states use covert action to pursue their foreign policy objectives, mitigate national security threats, and as a tool in hybrid warfare. She has given guest lectures on covert activities to undergraduate and postgraduate students at several academic institutions and at international academic conferences. Dr. Long has also written academic studies on national approaches to covert action, proxy warfare, sabotage, terrorist financing, and how states use organized crime to pursue geostrategic objectives covertly.

Prior to her academic career, Long worked as a defense and security analyst at RAND Corporation in Europe, as a senior manager in risk management and open source intelligence-related roles at Deloitte in the U.S., and with international organizations in conflict and post-conflict societies on issues related to security, fraud, and corruption.
