What else could you possibly be doing at 8 a.m. on Saturday at #APSA2018 besides coming to a panel on rebel & terror recruitment? I'll be presenting a new framework for understanding how state rhetoric affects who engages in terrorism. #womenalsoAPSA
In brief: we study terrorist propaganda and social networks to death, but we need to pay attention to other info to which people are exposed, particularly from the state. I argue that alarmism may actually *fuel* radicalization.
I'll be sharing some preliminary case study work from my dissertation on patterns of state ideas surrounding terrorism and possible mechanisms linking them to variation in popularity of certain organizations. Come give me feedback!
