How can research on topics surrounding radicalization, extremism, and terrorism be safe and socially sustainable? - PRIF BLOG Research on extremism and related phenomena such as radicalization or terrorism is emotionally demanding and can even become dangerous, in part because it frequently means engaging with intense, and at times violent, societal conflict. The most recent escalation in the Israel-Palestine conflict is a poignant example of this, in which researchers specialized in antisemitism, Islamophobia, or Islamist and right-wing extremism are expected to keep up with fast-paced developments while simultaneously navigating the emotional impact of unfolding violence. This blog post highlights the difficulties researchers face in this field and proposes suggestions for addressing these challenges at the institutional and structural levels. https://blog.prif.org/2024/02/08/how-can-research-on-topics-surrounding-radicalization-extremism-and-terrorism-be-safe-and-socially-sustainable/
