Symbiotic Extremisms and Reactive Radicalization: The Algorithmic Combat Theater of Citizenship’s Transnational Crisis Scarcely three decades into the twenty-first century, techno-utopian discourses of “social media democratization” that accompanied 2011’s so-called “Arab Spring” now appear fundamentally bankrupt, replaced by anxieties about the proliferation of conspiracy theory, nation-state influence campaigns, and the spread of online “disinformation” that have accompanied the global rise of far-right populism, authoritarian ethno-nationalist movements, and the pervasive threat of transnational terrorism.From Narendra Modi’s BJP and China’s anti-Uigher crackdown, to the Western recruits of ISIS and internationalist Neo-Nazi fighters in Ukraine, nation-state actors and non-state armed groups alike exhibit an increasingly pervasive concern for communitarian-based (re)definitions of the citizen that challenge pluralistic conceptions of belonging. This contemporary geopolitical zeitgeist is often identified as “political polarization,” but how do such trends operate, mobilize, and spread?Taking as primary case study the paradoxically parallel objectives of so-called Islamic State and transnational Neo-Nazi accelerationists (each seeking “purified” territories of unitary identitarian affiliation), this talk examines the ways in which new media’s fear-based political economy enables symbiotic extremisms and reactive radicalization, embodying the contemporary geopolitical zeitgeist: transnational citizenship(s) in crisis.Dr. Amanda E. Rogers is a Fellow at the Century Foundation, where her research focuses on transnational political violence and non-state armed groups, and serves as a consultant to the U.S. Department of State and United Nations on the media and propaganda strategies of extremist groups, ranging from Neo-Nazi accelerationism to the so-called Islamic State. Her photojournalism, cultural commentary, and political analysis routinely appears in such forums as the Brookings Institution, Al-Jazeera, the New York Times, the Atlantic Council, The Intercept, CNN, and the BBC.This public lecture is part of the Peace and Conflict Studies program's 24-25 Digital War speaker series.

This exhibition, curated by 10 students in the Fall 2024 semester of MUSE 300: Museum Curating, features the themes of textiles and weaving. Showcasing works from the Longyear Museum of Anthropology’s basket and world textile collections, this exhibition explores the incredible amount of labor and skill that goes into creating woven art. The exhibition takes a comparative view of textiles from around the world, introducing the community significance of different designs and individual stylistic choices. The exhibition discusses how fiber art forms have changed as local and global markets develop, as well as the role that clothing can play in displays of nationalism and politics. Ultimately, Unraveled aims to inspire viewers to consider the benefits of hand-crafted works and foster an appreciation for the people behind the woven things we use and love each and every day.The exhibition features several new acquisitions, including three new works acquired from the Jalabil Maya women’s weaving collective during their artist residency last fall. It also features pieces on loan from our student curators, highlighting the significance of weaving and textile arts in their lives.Student Curators:Leila Bekaert ‘25 Oscar Brown ‘26 Kegan Foley ‘26 Emma Herwig ‘25 Bri Liddell ‘25 Gloria Liu ‘26 Meg McClenahan ‘25 Anna Miksis ‘25 Blanca Rivas ‘25 Aleksia Taci ‘25 Professor/Curator: Rebecca Mendelsohn
