Details

Political violence. The spread of conspiracy theories, and the erosion of trust in our democratic institutions. The signs of growing far-right extremism are all around us, and communities around the globe are struggling to understand how so many people are being radicalized and why they are increasingly attracted to violent movements. Join us for a featured lecture with Cynthia Miller-Idriss, Professor at American University’s School of Public Affairs and School of Education, and Founding Director of the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab (PERIL). Professor Miller-Idriss will discuss white nationalist recruitment tactics, and also provide us with timely insights from the post-voting, pre-inauguration period and how we can navigate these challenges.
