The Center on Terrorism at John Jay has a series of lectures on Fridays (see list below for place and time) that should be of particular interest for Milushka’s project, but may also be of general interest to others. I am attending the one this Friday (10/3) on “Leaderless Jihad” because Sageman’s book has been controversial on this topic. Come if you can!
Friday Seminar Series at John Jay Center on Terrorism
| Each Friday seminar hosted by the Center on Terrorism, focuses on a singular aspect of terrorism. The seminar series has been meeting alternate Fridays from 3-5pm since the beginning of the series in the fall of 2002. An invited speaker presents on a topic and a question-and-answer period follows. Refreshments are served and post-seminar conversation is encouraged. Graduate students at John Jay College are urged to attend and participate. We also warmly welcome all those interested in pursuing graduate work or currently working in the field of terrorism. This is an excellent forum for the exchange of ideas helpful to the academic and practitioner alike. The Seminars are also open to the general public.
