Description

Description
This one-day free online workshop is aimed at both academics and practitioners, providing a space for exploration of the importance of local contexts up extremism. It will be useful for academics working in this area, or seeking to, as well as those who engage with countering extremism or radicalisation as part of their work, whether that is local government, charity or other.

Detailed Description
Extremism often emerges with particular strength in certain areas, towns, cities and regions. These local contexts can alter the nature of this extremism, both in terms of how it presents its ideology but also in organisational and practical ways which explain its long-standing presence in some places. Understanding this local nature to extremism, rather than as a purely national phenomenon, can help us to explore the dynamics of these movements, and better inform those who seek to intervene and prevent extremism.

Designed as a space for both academics and practitioners, this one-day free online workshop is hosted by the Centre for Historical Studies and explores the local contexts in which extremism emerges and exists. Sessions will be facilitated by Dr Daniel Jones and Dr Siobhan Hyland. For more details about the team’s research profile, please check out Dr Jones’ PURE page.
