Gender and Radicalisation
From jihadist groups like Islamic State to the anti Islam radical right, Laurie Taylor considers the relationship between gender and radicalisation.
Is misogyny implicated in radicalisation, across the political spectrum?
Laurie Taylor talks to Elizabeth Pearson, Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Royal Holloway, University of London about her primary research among two of Britain鈥檚 key extremist movements: the banned Islamist group al-Muhajiroun, and those networked to it; and the anti-Islam radical right, including the English Defence League, For Britain and Britain First. Also, Katherine Williams, a former post-doctoral student in Politics and International Relations at Cardiff University, explores women's engagement with the far right and queries the notion that women do not support such politics, given the contemporary resurgence and global electoral successes of the far right, in its many guises.
