Key Takeaways for How to Win Against Extremists and Why We are Failing

Thu., Sep. 26, 2019 | 4:15pm - 5:45pm

One Brattle Square - Room 350

Nearly 20 years since 9/11 and we have not vanquished the appeal of extremist ideology. Groups are still recruiting youth in every part of the world, and today a real strategy to deal with the rise of hate and extremism is not on policy agendas. Whether white supremacists or the so called Islamic State, extremists have mastered selling their narratives despite the fact that solutions to this threat are available right now.
