3-credit course: “BSST338S/BSST638S - Countering Violent Extremism and Deradicalization in International Contexts”
Ever wondered why people commit terrorist acts? Or
why they stop? How about what we can do to curb terrorism? Join us for a
class designed to help answer these questions.
This course looks and feels like a traditional
summer term class until we pack up and head to Singapore for 10 days.
There, we’ll put to use the theoretical understandings gained on
terrorist radicalization, deradicalization, and countering
violent extremism, engaging with in-country experts and START
researchers to look at the Singaporean deradicalization process in
prisons. Upon return to the U.S., you’ll present group projects
explaining real-life policy recommendations for deradicalization
and countering violent extremism programs.
Apply by March 1st!
