Scott Atran interviewed on American Public Media's "On Being" in "Demonstrations, Hopes, and Dreams"

February 10, 2011

Scott Atran was interviewed on an episode of "On Being," an American Public Media show hosted by Krista Tippett. As described by "On Being," the episode asks Atran to help "make deeper sense of the human dynamics unfolding in the Middle East and North Africa." Atran discusses his anthropological research on what drives young people into or away from radical groups and how the lens through which the world views these people, and groups, needs to change.
