In association with TEAM the Department of Politics will host a conference on the important and topical issue of terrorism. The aim of the conference is to provide students with an opportunity to examine a controversial issue in an academic setting and gain important insights into life at University.
Starting with a set of role plays and simulations students will be encouraged to examine and challenge their views on security, fear and terrorism. A set of high level keynote presentations on the challenges of tackling terrorism, preventing social exclusion, and the tensions between security and civil liberties will provide the students with an opportunity to engage with competing views on a highly sensitive topic.
