Mark Juergensmeyer

Mark Juergensmeyer, professor of sociology and global studies at U.C. Santa Barbara, will give an illustrated analysis of the rise of ISIS and its current state of regional and global influence, based on site visits to the region, interviews, and surveillance of jihadi chat rooms online.

He is a pioneer in the global studies field, focusing on global religion, religious violence, conflict resolution and South Asian religion and politics. He has published more than three hundred articles and twenty books, including the revised and expanded fourth edition of the award-winning “Terror in the Mind of God” (University of California Press, 2017), and his co-edited “Oxford Handbook of Global Studies” (Oxford University Press, 2018).

Professor Juergensmeyer's Athenaeum presentation is co-sponsored by the Kutten Lectureship in Religious Studies at CMC.
