Kennesaw State University invites you to attend the 3rd Annual Paul and Beverly Radow Lecture on Jewish Life for a discussion about the contemporary challenges of terrorism. Many people, including reporters, politicians and commentators, focus on the incident itself and its aftermath. In his lecture, Dr. Friedmann investigates the importance of context and understanding motives that drive terrorists. In doing so, Dr. Friedmann invites attendees to explore the ideology of terrorism and examine ways to challenge its incitement.
About the Speaker
Dr. Robert R. Friedmann is founding director of the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange and Professor Emeritus of Criminal Justice at Georgia State University’s Andrew Young School of Policy Studies. He was the Distinguished Chair of Public Safety Partnerships (2007-2010) and served as Chair (1989-2002) of the Criminal Justice Department at Georgia State University.
