Dr. Stephen Sloan Joins Us As a Contributing Expert
By Andrew Cochran
We're pleased and honored to welcome Dr. Stephen Sloan, one of the most respected veterans of the CT community, as our newest Contributing Expert. For over 35 years, Dr. Sloan has been a pioneer in research, teaching and consulting on international terrorism, crisis management, unconventional warfare and political violence. He is currently a Fellow and University Professor at the Office of Global Perspectives, University of Central Florida, a member of numerous advisory boards, and commissions. A list of his contributions through published books, articles, participation in simulations, and statements runs for pages. He has advised and worked closely with many of our existing Contributing Experts. His next book, Terrorism: The Present Threat in Context, will be published later this year by Berg Publishers. Dr. Sloan taught for years in Oklahoma and lived 10 blocks from the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City when it was bombed in 1995; you can read a summary of his perspectives on that event here.
