SUMMARY:Veiled Threats: Women and Jihad
DESCRIPTION:Women in patriarchal societies are assumed to be controlled by 
 men: fathers\, husbands or another male relative. Although extremist group
 s often control different aspects of women's lives\, from their religious 
 obligations to dress\, Jihadi women have asserted themselves in a myriad o
 f ways. This lecture lifts the veil of the secret world of women in Jihadi
  groups to explain the motivation and challenge the misperceptions about w
 omen's agency by exploring the range of roles of the women involved in Jih
 ad. Mia explains how women are used and abused\, deployed and destroyed\, 
 and the many ways in which their roles in terrorism have evolved over the 
 past three decades.\nRegister Here\nDr. Mia Bloom is an International Secu
 rity Fellow at New America and a Professor at Georgia State University. Sh
 e speaks eight languages and has authored six books on violent extremism\,
  including Dying to Kill and Bombshell. Her most recent book\, Veiled Thre
 ats\, coming out Winter 2025\, explores the diverse roles of women involve
 d in jihad. Mia has held appointments at Cornell\, Harvard\, Princeton\, a
 nd McGill\, and serves on several Counter-Radicalization boards. She holds
  a PhD from Columbia University and advanced degrees from Georgetown and M
 cGill.
