Sovereign Citizens: A Conversation with Dr. Christine Sarteschi
Tue, 20 May, 2025
12:00pm - 1:00pm
Originally derived from the tax protest and Posse Comitatus movement of the 1960s, sovereign citizens present a complex challenge to law enforcement and extremism researchers alike. As such, the Program on Extremism is proud to host Dr. Christine Sarteschi, Professor of Social Work and Criminology at Chatham University and a leading expert on the sovereign citizen movement, for a virtual discussion that will explore the ideology, tactics, and evolving threat posed by this anti-government movement. Join us on May 20, 2025, for a fascinating and thought-provoking event moderated by Research Fellow Luke Baumgartner.
