Tania Saeed (Assistant Professor, HSS) publishes chapter titled “Education and Disengagement: Extremism and the Perception of Muslim Students” in Farid Panjwani, Lynn Revell, Reza Gholami and Mike Diboll (eds) Education and Extremisms: Rethinking Liberal Pedagogies in the Contemporary World (Routledge, 2017).
Education and Extremisms addresses one of the most pressing questions facing societies today: how is education to respond to the challenge of extremism? It argues that the implementation of new teaching techniques, curricular reforms, or top-down changes to education policy alone cannot solve the problem of extremism in educational establishments across the world. Instead, the authors of this thought-provoking volume argue that there is a need for those concerned with radicalization to reconsider the relationship between instrumentalist ideologies shaping education and the multiple forms of extremism that exist.
