Teaching About Terrorism is a 2009/10 research project funded by C-SAP, one of the Higher Education Academy's subject networks. The project aims to research the extent and nature of teaching about terrorism in UK Universities, primarily in the disciplines of Sociology, Politics and Criminology[1].
Freedom of Information Request 1
According to the response of this University to the initial four part teaching terrorism FOI request, the answer to all four questions was 'no'[2] . The four questions being:
- Does your institution provide any information or advice to students or staff on any potential liability under Terrorism legislation which might result from accessing materials for teaching or research?
- No
- Does your institution have any kind of procedure to review or assess reading lists, module descriptors or other teaching materials which explicitly or in practice considers questions of safety and risk under terrorism legislation as part of its remit?
- We have three-year reviews of subjects and their learning materials but no specific policy or procedure. These reviews do not have anything in common with Nottingham's Module Review forms, as the reviews are not conducted by a separate committee, and they have nothing to do with "advice on academics' teaching material".
- Does your institution have any system, policy or procedure in place for dealing with any potential actions taken by the authorities against the institution, its students or staff under Terrorism legislation?
- We have a code of practice on freedom of speech which is available on our website at.This code of practice was approved by Academic Board on 21 June 2006 and was implemented from that date.
- Does your institution have any system, policy or procedure in place for ‘preventing violent extremism’ as recommended for example in the government guidance document ‘Promoting Good Campus Relations’?
- We have a code of practice on freedom of speech which is available on our website at. This code of practice was approved by Academic Board on 21 June 2006 and was implemented from that date.[3]
