Two of the most frightening aspects of the wave of terrorism that has swept across the globe are what appear to be the viral spread of extreme thinking through the internet, and the seemingly rapid appearance of radical attitudes in
young people as a prelude to their terrorist involvement. Peter Neumann will bring his acute mind and unrivalled experience of engagement in this field to help us tease out the myths from the realities of ‘on-line radicalization’.
Time: 6pm – 7.15pm
Date: Tuesday, 26 September 2017
Venue: Harris Manchester College, Mansfield Road, Oxford OX1 3TD
