(2017) RESOLVE Forum 2017 - Panel Entering and Exiting Violence
Ivo Veenkamp, Deputy Executive Director at Hedayah, Dale Eickelman, and John Horgan, Professor at the Global Studies Institute, Georgia State University
I am fascinated by how religion coupled with changing ideas of education and both traditional and innovational means of communication and persuasion come together in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to create new social forms. Another ongoing interest is the interplay between secrecy and publicity in religious movements, governments, universities, and everyday life.
