Explore the politics of divisiveness, anger, and fear with
Professor Jason
Blazakis, Director of Middlebury Institute’s Center on Terrorism,
Extremism, and Counterterrorism.
Professor Blazakis will discuss “Counterterrorism Research on White
Supremacist Movements.” Previously, he served for a decade as the
director of the Office of Counterterrorism Finance at the U.S. State
Department, a role he came to after several years working on various
aspects of counterterrorism and intelligence within the government.
Along with his colleagues at CTEC, Professor Blazakis has been working on
extremism research projects for several notable clients - in particular
studying far-right extremism messaging online, why certain messages
resonate with audiences, what key phrases and words are used to spread
that message, and what messaging is effective or not effective. Learn
about the increased spotlight on various white supremacist movements and
the threats of domestic terrorism in recent months and weeks.
A panel representing diverse ethnic and racial groups will interact with
Professor Blazakis following his presentation. These panelists currently
include Rabbi Greenbaum, and Abdel Seck, an African American and a
Muslim, who is President of the Monterey Islam Mosque.
