Extreme Childhoods: The Lives of Children in Families with Extremist and Terrorist Affiliations

Drawing on over four years of research, Dr Lynn Schneider presents findings on the lived experiences, psychosocial outcomes, and support needs of children in families affiliated with extremism and terrorism.

Her work examines both repatriated children who were taken to or born in ISIS-held territories in Syria and Iraq, and children growing up in families with domestic Islamist or right-wing extremist ties in Germany. The talk will explore the challenges and opportunities involved in reaching and supporting these children.

Please join either in person or online. For in-person attendees, the talk will be preceded by a light lunch at 12.15pm.
