Sunday Speaker: Abdallah Hendawy, "Bleeding Hearts: From Passionate Activisim to Violent Insurgency in Egypt"

Join Dr. Abdallah Hendawy, professor of Political Sociology and author of "Bleeding Hearts: From Passionate Activism to Violent Insurgency in Egypt" as he delves into the nature of mass mobilization and social movements. What causes the tipping point where people participating in peaceful protests turn to radicalization and violent insurgency? Why do people who were previously committed to nonviolent protests choose other paths such as rioting, violence, and taking arms up against the state? Dr. Hendawy's research deals particularly with the middle east and the 2013 Egyptian coup d'etat.
