SRAS students studying in Warsaw, Poland on the Security and Society in the Information Age program have recently published a new scholarly volume. As part of their program course work, the students worked with experts in a variety of fields at the Terrorism Research Center, a research unit within Collegium Civitas. Collegium Civitas hosts the program. The Center is one of the leading think tanks in Poland and works with a wide range of security-related issues.
This collaborative work has now been published by the Terrorism Research Center in a professional volume. Focusing on changing paradigms in security, the students and their expert mentors provide insight into modern issues such as cybersecurity and information security, how propaganda and fake news affect democracies, how to prevent mass shootings and active shooter situations, how to fight radicalization and recruitment to terrorist organizations, as well as the role of the mass media in shaping public opinion on terrorism.
The students involved come from diverse backgrounds and a range of US universities including University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Penn State, Michigan State University, University of South Carolina, University of Nebraska Lincoln, University of Denver, and University of Texas.
The book can be downloaded in PDF format and it distributed under Creative Commons license: Security and Society in the Information Age.
