Join us for a conversation with Professor John Horgan about his new book, 'Terrorist Minds: The Psychology of Violent Extremism from Al-Qaeda to the Far Right'. In this new book, Professor Horgan - one of the world’s leading experts on the psychology of terrorism - provides an up-to-date, evidence-based understanding of the patterns, motives, and mentalities of violent extremists from the Islamic State and al-Shabaab to white supremacists and incels. Professor Horgan argues that while the field has moved well beyond simplistic profiles of terrorists, it must address several critical issues head-on for it to achieve its full potential.
