In this second episode of Insecure: A Security Podcast we discuss the future of terrorism studies with Dr Gordon Clubb, Associate Professor in Terrorism at the University of Leeds and a Research Fellow at the German Institute for Radicalisation and De-Radicalisation Studies ( https://essl.leeds.ac.uk/politics/staff/66/dr-gordon-clubb ) and Mr. Mohammad Didarul Islam, a PhD student at the University of Leeds and an Assistant Professor at the University of Dhaka ( https://essl.leeds.ac.uk/politics/pgr/1248/md-didarul-islam )
This fascinating discussion explores current and emerging trends within terrorism studies, the nature of ‘the terrorist threat’, and the relationship between the study of terrorism, extremism, and CVE (counter-violent extremism).
It also showcases the research undertaken by both our speakers on CVE and deradicalisation in different contexts, as well as, their thoughts on the current state of terrorism studies and the existing literature.
