50 years after Eisenhower coined the term “military-industrial complex,” Buzzsaw magazine, Ithaca College’s alternative magazine, dives into the topic with a special issue and a week of events to explore the many facets of militarization. We aim to bring the discussion about war, the military and its presence in our daily lives beyond the pages of the magazine with this dynamic event series.
