Episode 3: Hateful Extremism, with Sara Khan
Suzanne Raine speaks with Sara Khan, the U.K. Prime Minister’s Independent Adviser for Social Cohesion and Resilience and author of the recent report Home Office report "operating with impunity" to discuss counter-extremism in the UK.
Part of the Resistance, Radicalisation and Religion Series:
Suzanne Raine, Affiliate Lecturer, explores how resistance to authority has interacted with religious and political extremism. Following the deadly Capitol Riot in Washington D.C. this January, academics and counter-extremism experts will use current and historical examples to explore how extremist movements learn from each other, the role of belief – religious or otherwise – in motivating or enabling people to rebel and resist, the impact of being on the 'losing side’, and how society might respond to radicalisation.
