Now on the Combating Jihadist Terror podcast: a discussion between Dr Katherine Brown and CoJiT’s Dr Anthony Richards. Dr Brown begins by outlining what she sees as the difference between CVE and PVE, before examining the limitations of counter-radicalisation and counter-extremism programmes in helping women. Finally, Dr Brown expands on her Humanities for Resilience project - an alternative framework for international development aid that goes beyond the disciplinary boundaries of religious studies and human geography and seeks to explore how the arts and humanities can contribute to understandings and practices of ‘resilience’ in Lower and Middle Income Countries.

Dr Katherine Brown is a Reader in Religion and Global Security at the Department for Theology and Religion, University of Birmingham. She is also co-lead of the Humanities for Resilience project there. Her most recent book,Gender, Religion and Extremism: finding women in anti-radicalisation (Oxford University Press, 2020), is available to purchase here.
