Podcast 79: Tackling Extremism, Islamophobia and Far Right


Listen Later

Our 79th interview is Zubeda Limbada, co-director of the social enterprise, Connect Futures, focusing on training and research to tackle extremism and exploitation. In this podcast, listen to Zubeda 'How can we tackle extremism and Islamophobia, and what can British people do to address Far-Right extremism?'

As we dig in deep into the podcast, we find out more about her life working in social enterprise and what sparked Connect Futures existence. We ask how did she end up with a secondment at the Westminister Police Counter-Terrorism Unit and what does Connect Futures do on a daily basis. We also discover how we can build resilience against violence and extremism.

Getting personal, we ask what was it like to be 'kicked out' of an Islamic school in her teenage years and hear more about Zubeda’s own experience of racism, diversity and Islamophobia. We unpick the difficulty for teachers to advise social media safety to children and why Zubeda wants to see more safe spaces for children
and her thoughts on Far-right extremism.

All this in 32 minutes!

You can follow Zubeda on Twitter and find out more about Connect Futures.

Thanks for listening.
