I drew from my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/books\/islamic-politics-muslim-states-and-counterterrorism-tensions\/104A058136EBDAF8D7AF034CB38F8911\">book <\/a>to discuss how differing levels of religious freedom affected counterterrorism, arguing there are some trade-offs in the short-term but in the long-term promoting religious freedom will help undermine terrorism. Two other experts in this subject also weighed in, so check out their posts too.<\/p>\n<p>I also talked with a reporter from the Associated Press about T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia). Lawrence had a famous Rolls Royce he used to drive into Damascus in 1918, and a military historian thought he discovered some of its secrets. I weighed in about Lawrence&#8217;s legacy for the Middle East. You can find the story <a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/wireStory\/lawrence-arabia-rolls-fans-solved-wwi-mystery-48437141\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I helped out with the UVM&#8217;s summer orientation for incoming first-year students, working with new Political Science majors as they registered for classes. It was exciting to meet some of my new students, and I&#8217;m looking forward to teaching them in the fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer&#8217;s been pretty busy, so I am a bit late on updating things.
