Exploring the multiple dimensions of individual, collective and intergenerational trauma, this project sheds light on their relationships with terrorism and extremism.
Through an evolving programme of work informed by a process of co-development enabled by ongoing engagement with a multi-sector community of practice, the research seeks to: synthesise existing knowledge about the multiple ways in which trauma and adversity are implicated in violent extremism; develop conceptual insights by mapping and interpreting the relationships between the dominant models used in research and practice across the fields of trauma, adversity and violent extremism; and identify the implications for policy and practice
