We are also looking for students to join us on our Summer short term study abroad trip to Singapore!
UMD-Summer: Singapore: Religious Rehabilitation of Terrorists This program embeds a 10-day Singapore study tour in a 6 week-online course, allowing students to be exposed to the fundamental literature and complex theories of radicalization and deradicalization before landing in Singapore to hit the ground running when meeting with officials and researchers without sacrificing a full summer internship or job opportunity to study abroad.
While in Singapore, in coordination with Rohan Gunaratna’s International Center for Political Violence and Terrorism Research at Nanyang Technological University, students engaged with leading experts in these fields, as Singapore is a world leader in deradicalization programs. Lectures and field visits to Changi Prison, the Harmony Center, and other religious and community based deradicalization program centers allowed students to directly apply the theoretical understanding to real-world programs addressing critical challenges in the world.
- Program Cost: $4,675.
- Dates: June 23rd-July 1st 2018
- Apply on the study abroad website by March 1st!
