The Lure of Jihad: Propaganda and the Construction of Jihadi Identities
PAST EVENT | 28 June 2016 10:40 - 28 June 2016 18:30
On June 28th 2016, The Lure of Jihad: Propaganda and the Construction of Jihadi Identities, the first in the 'Brian Wilson' Arab Studies conference series organised by Dr Elisabeth Kendall, will be held at Pembroke.
The conference is free and open to members of the University and the public. Registration is required - sign up for a place on the Eventbrite page.
Although many attempts have been made to pinpoint archetypes of jihadist motivation or ‘identity’, drivers of militant jihad change significantly over time, between regions and among different target population groups.
This conference seeks to create a more nuanced picture of how jihadist propaganda and recruitment functions.
