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, complex and contingent 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.
- Identify the implications for policy and practice.
