Basin: The Global Connections”
Director, Global Studies Program, UC Santa Barbara, Member of United
Nations Committee on International Terrorism, author of six books,
including: Terror in the Mind of God: The Global Rise of Religious
Violence (2003); The Next Cold War: Religious Nationalism Confronts the
Secular State (1993). This lecture will examine the role of terrorism
and religious violence among the Asian diaspora. Dr. Juergensmeyer asks
why violence in this region takes place in the name of religion. How can
it be understood, confronted, and perhaps avoided?.
