What Kind of Pedagogy Do We Need to Address Extremism and Terror?

One of our primary objectives of this paper is to examine the veracity of the modern usage of ‘extremism’ in order to broaden the understanding of this phenomenon and relatedly also open up the space in which solution to extremism can be found. Understanding contemporary extremism as a crisis in education, our second objective is to propose a critical counter extremism pedagogy that can make visible vital connections between extremism and the wider interlinked political, economic, social, and cultural processes at the global level.
