18th May 2021 @ 14:00 - 15:00
This session will explore the emergence and evolution of terrorist violence.
In it, we will explore the historical origins and transformation of terrorist violence, before analysing terrorism’s significance as a security threat today.
The lecture will finish by reflecting on future directions in terrorism, and the potential impact of social and political dynamics from COVID-19 to digital technologies.
