What can studying terrorism tell us about how to prevent the kind of events
the world witnessed on September 11?
Could viewing terrorists as ordinary people rather than psychologically
deviant be the key to unlocking the complex reasons that drive people to
carry out such seemingly incomprehensible actions?
By focussing on the causes of terrorism rather than those that commit the
act, can psychology offer real insights into the understanding of terrorism
and bring an end to terrorist conflicts?
Psychologist Dr Andrew Silke will lead an informal discussion on the
psychology of terrorism and what turns seemingly ordinary individuals into
terrorist killers.
