SUMMARY:'A Thing Unparalleled'? Reflections on Recent Lone Assassination Attempts in Historical Perspective'
DESCRIPTION:A recent spate of assassination attempts in American public life - including 2 near-misses for Donald Trump last summer (13 July and 15 September 2024); and the killings of Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson (4 December 2024) and Charlie Kirk (10 September 2025) - invite reflection on the role of such violence to achieve profound social destabilisation.     What is remarkable about all these attempts is that each appears to have been mounted by a lone assassin acting on their own initiative. Self-appointed, socially-isolated, politically-ambitious killers are by no means a new phenomenon: but they remain poorly understood and little studied. It therefore seems like a good time - albeit for 'bad' reasons - to take a fresh look at the 'killer nerds'.     Please note that the date and time of the event remain the same: October 2nd from 17.00-18.30. https://events.st-andrews.ac.uk/events/contemporary-extreme-right-terrorism-in-historical-perspective/
